Abstract
An image recording device is provided with: a first guide mechanism for guiding the movement of a print head between an image recording position and a maintenance-receiving position, which is a position different from a support member in a second direction orthogonal to a first direction in which the print head at the image recording position and the support member face each other; and a second guide mechanism for guiding the movement of a maintenance unit between a withdrawn position for separating away from the print head in a third direction, which is a direction orthogonal to the second direction, in relation to the print head at the maintenance-receiving position, and a maintenance position for drawing nearer to the print head than the withdrawn position.
