Abstract
An inkjet drawing apparatus includes a head module which holds a droplet jetting head provided with a nozzle for ejecting droplets, and which is unmovable in a horizontal direction, and a drawing table which supports a recording member on an upper surface, and which is movable in the horizontal direction. The inkjet drawing apparatus executes a prescribed drawing by ejecting the droplets onto the recording member from the droplet jetting head. A maintenance unit transfer mechanism is movable within a prescribed region including a position under the head module, and transfers a maintenance unit for conducting maintenance of the droplet jetting head toward the position under the head module, and executes positioning of the maintenance unit with respect to the droplet jetting head. A maintenance unit selecting/arranging mechanism selects one of a plurality of kinds of maintenance units, and places the selected maintenance unit on the maintenance unit transfer mechanism.
