Abstract
An ink jet recording apparatus may include a recording head that extends in a direction perpendicular to a recording-medium-conveying direction. In some embodiments, the recording head may eject ink to a recording medium. An embodiment may include a recovery device that performs recovery processing of the recording head, the recovery device having a cap portion that covers an ink ejection surface of the recording head, and a wiping portion that wipes the ink ejection surface. In some embodiments, the recovery device may move along the recording-medium-conveying direction. When the recovery device moves along the recording-medium-conveying direction, the wiping portion wipes the ink ejection surface while moving along the recording-medium-conveying direction.
