Abstract
A roll wiping member unit includes a long wiping member and a core. The long wiping member has a starting end and a terminating end at ends in a longitudinal direction and a wiping portion that is subjected to a tensile load at a position between the starting end and the terminating end. The long wiping member is configured to wipe a liquid ejecting head at the wiping portion. The long wiping member is wound on the core from the terminating end in a roll. The long wiping member has a weak portion having strength that does not withstand the tensile load at a position closer than the wiping portion to the terminating end.
