Abstract
An inkjet recording apparatus includes a conveyance section, a recording head, a maintenance mechanism, and a control section. The conveyance section conveys a recording medium. The recording head discharges ink droplets toward the recording medium while the conveyance section conveys the recording medium. The maintenance mechanism performs maintenance on the recording head. The control section causes the maintenance mechanism to operate upon determination that a width of a next recording target recording medium is greater than a width of a recording medium subjected to image recording prior to the next recording target recording medium.
