ABSTRACT:
This patent specification describes an image forming apparatus which includes a carriage, a recording head mounted on the carriage, having a nozzle, and configured to form an image by ejecting recording liquid from the nozzle, a self-maintenance mechanism configured to maintain the recording head in a predetermined condition, which includes a cap member configured to cap the recording head and an absorption mechanism configured to absorb the unused recording liquid ejected into the cap member from the recording head, and a shielding member configured to prevent a flying liquid droplet generated when the absorption mechanism absorbs the unused recording liquid from attaching to a predetermined member of the image forming apparatus.
