Abstract

The cleaning liquid supply mechanism ejects the cleaning liquid to an ejection target that is one of the cleaning roller and the cap. In particular, the cleaning liquid supply mechanism switches the ejection target between the cap and the cleaning roller and ejects the cleaning liquid to the ejection target. Specifically, if the cap is set as the ejection target, the cleaning liquid is ejected from the cleaning liquid supply mechanism directly to the cap as the ejection target. If the cleaning roller is set as the ejection target, the cleaning liquid is ejected from the cleaning liquid supply mechanism directly to the cleaning roller as the ejection target.
