ABSTRACT:
There are provided a purge cap 46 used both for a recovery and a protecting operations and protecting caps 21A-D used only for a protecting operation, in which the number of the protecting caps 21A-C is kept in three, less by one than the number of the ink jet heads. When the carriage is in the recovery area, the purge cap 46 alone is advanced to cover one of the ink jet heads, performing a recovery operation. When the carriage is in a protecting position, the purge cap 46 and the protecting caps 21A-C are obliquely advanced together, thereby covering all of the ink jet heads.
