Abstract
An ink-jet recording apparatus includes a first driving source, a second driving source, and a control section. The first driving source drives a cap unit. The second driving source moves a cap and a recording head in directions different from a direction along which the cap is separated from the recording head by the first driving source. The control section drives the second driving source at the same time as the cap unit is driven by the first driving source.
