Abstract
An inkjet recording device includes a conveying unit, a recording unit, a device main body, and a control unit. The conveying unit includes an endless conveyor belt having many air holes for sucking air, and a sheet sucking unit. The sheet sucking unit is disposed inside a loop of the conveyor belt, and includes a fan for sucking air through the air holes and a fan drive motor. The recording unit includes a recording head disposed to face an outer circumference surface of the conveyor belt, so as to eject ink from ink ejection nozzles to the paper sheet sucked and held on the conveyor belt. The control unit executes a paper dust removing mode during image non-recording time, in which it rotates the fan drive motor by a power higher than that when conveying the paper sheet, so as to remove paper dust in the device main body.
