Abstract

A technique allows satisfactorily cleaning ejection heads with a cleaning liquid while protecting ink meniscus in nozzles. A printer includes an ejection head, a cleaning-liquid block, and a receptacle. The ejection head has an ink ejecting plane that includes nozzles as openings and ejects ink from the nozzles. The cleaning block has a head opposing plane that includes an ejection hole as an opening. The cleaning block ejects a cleaning liquid in an inclination direction inclined relative to the ink ejecting plane. The receptacle is located below the cleaning block and receives the cleaning liquid ejected from the ejection hole.
