Abstract
An ink-jet line printer () is constituted by multiple ink-jet heads (-to-). Actuators (-to-) are arranged so as to be moved between a home position and a print position, and backup mechanisms (-to-) are arranged at home positions. In this ink-jet line printer, the ink-jet heads can be protected and recovered by backup mechanisms, thus making high-speed continuous printing possible. Even though the backup mechanisms are incorporated, a compact apparatus can still be achieved.
