Abstract
A liquid discharge apparatus includes: nozzles that discharge liquid; a liquid discharge head including the nozzles arranged in arrays; cleaning belts formed in the shape of a Mobius strip; installation rollers around which the cleaning belts rotate; a support frame that supports the installation rollers so that an angle is formed between a width direction of the cleaning belt and an arrangement direction of the nozzles; a moving unit for moving the support frame in the arrangement direction of the nozzles; and a rotational drive unit for rotationally driving the installation rollers. The cleaning belts clean the liquid discharge head by adsorbing attached liquid via contact with the liquid discharge head.
