ABSTRACT:
A pump 15 disposed in an ink-jet recording device has flexible tube 103 and guide member 106 whereon a prescribed part of the tube is mounted. Roller 105, of which there is at least one and which pressurizes and deforms tube 103, is supported by lever 107 such that it pressurizes the tube when it rotates in the forward direction and releases the pressure on the tube when it rotates in the reverse direction. This lever 107 is urged by spring 108 in the direction that presses the roller against the tube.
