ABSTRACT:
An ink jet printer includes a capping device. The device includes a cap having a brim for covering the ink jet surface of an ink jet head. The device also includes a holder for holding the cap. When held by the holder, the cap deforms elastically in such a manner that a protrusion protrudes the middle of the cap brim toward the jet surface. The cap has a cavity formed in it. When the brim of the cap held by the holder is pressed against the jet surface, the cap deforms elastically in such a manner that the brim covers the surface completely. The elastic deformation collapses the cavity, thereby reducing the force for pressing the cap against the head.
