Abstract
An inkjet recording apparatus includes a recording head arranged so that a nozzle surface thereof is inclined, a conveyance unit, a cap, a suction portion, and a control portion. The cap includes a bottom surface and side walls provided to stand along four sides of the bottom surface. In detaching the cap from the nozzle surface, the control portion sequentially executes a first release operation in which, in a state where a lower positioned one of the side walls is in contact with the nozzle surface, others of the side walls are released from the nozzle surface, a wiping operation in which, while the lower positioned one of the side walls is kept in contact with the nozzle surface, the cap is moved upward along the nozzle surface, and a second release operation in which all the side walls of the cap are released from the nozzle surface.
