Abstract
An inkjet printer records an image on a recording medium by ejecting ink onto the recording medium from a recording head mounted on a carriage. A housing suction fan is arranged on a rear surface of the housing for sucking a gas from an outside into an inside of the housing. A carriage suction fan is arranged on the rear surface of the housing opposite to the housing suction fan for sucking into the carriage the gas sucked by the housing suction fan. A rear surface exhaust fan and a side surface exhaust fan are arranged on the rear surface and a side surface, respectively, of the housing for exhausting the gas inside the housing to the outside. The gas sucked by the housing suction fan is sucked into the carriage by the carriage suction fan and flows into the housing without being sucked by the carriage suction fan.
