ABSTRACT:
An image recording apparatus includes a plurality of liquid ejection heads, and a plurality of wipers. The plurality of liquid ejection heads are divided into a plurality of head groups each including two of the liquid ejection heads. When in a wiper withdrawal position, the wiper associated with one of the liquid ejection heads belonging to each head group is positioned so as to overlap the one liquid ejection head along a direction perpendicular to one direction and in addition overlap the other of the liquid ejection heads along the one direction, while the wiper associated with the other liquid ejection head is positioned so as to overlap the other liquid ejection head along the perpendicular direction and in addition overlap the one liquid ejection head along the one direction.
