ABSTRACT:
The ink-jet recording device of the present invention is provided with an ink-jet recording head that operates pressure waves on ink in a pressure chamber and ejects ink droplets from multiple nozzles; a wiper that wipes a nozzle face of the ink-jet recording head; a drive waveform applying component that applies a drive waveform to a drive element so that ink droplets are not ejected and ink floods the nozzle face; and a control component that, when performing wiping, drives the drive waveform applying component prior to initiating wiping and actuates the wiper in a state where the ink is flooded on the nozzle face.
