Abstract
A waste liquid recovery apparatus including a waste liquid tube through which waste liquid flows and a displacement mechanism. The displacement mechanism includes a driven portion that receives a driving force and operates owing to the driving force and a displacement portion that is displaced within a predetermined displacement range in conjunction with the operation of the driven portion. The waste liquid tube includes a flexible tube at least at a terminal end from which the waste liquid is issued. When the displacement portion is displaced within the predetermined displacement range, a contact depth of the displacement portion with respect to the contacted portion of the flexible tube, near the terminal end, changes.
