Abstract
A maintenance device includes a cap, a lifting device, a cleaning liquid supply device, an oscillating device, and a control part. The cap is attached to a nozzle surface of an inkjet head. The lifting device lifts and lowers at least one of the inkjet head or the cap. The cleaning liquid supply device supplies a cleaning liquid to the cap. The oscillating device oscillates the cap. The cap has a base portion, a wall portion which surrounds the nozzle surface, and an elastic body which has a liquid absorbency and is placed on a region inside the wall portion on the base portion. The control part controls the cleaning liquid supply device to supply the cleaning liquid to the cap, controls the lifting device such that the elastic body is pressed on the nozzle surface, and then controls the oscillating device to oscillate the cap.
