ABSTRACT:
An ink jet recording apparatus is provided with a carriage carrying a recording head, and which scans both recording and non recording areas, a cleaning member contacting the recording head so as to clean a discharge port forming surface of the head, the cleaning member having plural cleaning elastic blades, and recording mode setting means for setting the apparatus' recording mode to either a first mode in which plural colors are used for recording, or a second mode where a single color is used, and which single color differs from the plural colors. The discharge port surface is cleaned by the plural blades when the first recording mode is set, and by a single such cleaning blade when the second mode is set.
