Abstract
A cap unit includes a cap portion which intimately contacts an ink ejection surface of a recording head of an inkjet recording apparatus, a support plate, a unit frame, and a plate moving mechanism. The support plate has the cap portion fixed thereto, and is supported to be movable in an up-down direction with respect to the unit frame. The unit frame supports the support plate, and has a fixing mechanism with respect to the inkjet recording apparatus. The plate moving mechanism is capable of moving the support plate, with the unit frame fixed to the inkjet recording apparatus, to a first position at which the cap portion is in contact with the ink ejection surface, and to a second position at which the cap portion is apart from the ink ejection surface.
