Description
前記インク受け部材を吸引手段(吸引ポンプなどが用いられる)と接続し、このインク受け部材をノズルからインクを吸引する吸引キャップとしたので、吸引キャップを新たに設ける必要がない。
Claims (2)
- インクを吐出する複数のノズルが記録媒体の全幅に対応する長さに渡って配列された各色インクに対応した複数のライン型の記録ヘッドと、
前記記録媒体を支持しつつ搬送して、前記記録ヘッドと前記記録媒体とを相対移動させる記録媒体搬送手段であって、前記記録媒体を支持する媒体支持部の全面には、負圧発生手段による負圧を利用して前記記録媒体を吸着支持する複数の開口部が前記記録媒体の搬送方向に沿って一定の配列パターンで形成され、該複数の開口部を前記記録媒体の搬送方向と略直交する方向に並ぶように投影した際に、前記記録ヘッドのノズル全幅領域に渡って少なくともいずれかの開口部が存在するように、前記複数の開口部が千鳥状に配置された記録媒体搬送手段と、
前記開口部の位置を検出する位相検出手段と、
前記位相検出手段の検出結果に基づき、前記開口部の位置と同期して開口部に向けて前記記録ヘッドからインクを予備吐出させる吐出制御手段と、
当該予備吐出されたインクを、前記開口部を介して回収するためのインク受け部材と前記開口部を介して前記記録ヘッドのノズル面を払拭するワイプ部材と前記ワイプ部材を、前記開口部を通して前記ノズル面に対して進出または退出させる進退移動手段とを備えてなる1ユニットのみのノズル回復装置と、
前記記録ヘッドのノズル面に対して前記ノズル回復装置のワイプ部材を前記搬送方向に摺動させるワイプ部材の摺動手段と、
前記記録ヘッドのノズル面と対向する位置と前記ノズル面と対向しない待機位置とで、前記ノズル回復装置を前記搬送方向および該搬送方向と直交する前記記録媒体の幅方向に移動させる移動手段と、
前記位相検出手段の検出結果に基づき、前記開口部の位置と同期して前記ノズル回復装置のワイプ部材によるワイプ動作を制御するワイプ制御手段と、
を備え、
前記記録媒体搬送手段によって前記記録媒体を搬送しつつ前記記録ヘッドからインクの吐出を行う画像形成時には、前記ノズル回復装置を前記待機位置に退避させ、前記記録ヘッドの回復処理時には、前記ノズル回復装置を前記移動手段によって前記複数の開口部のうちいずれかの開口部の位置で前記ノズル面と対向する位置に移動させ、当該開口部を介して回復処理を実施することを特徴とする画像形成装置。 - 前記インク受け部材は、前記開口部を介して前記記録ヘッドのノズル面に当接して前記ノズルを覆い、前記ノズルからインクを吸引する吸引キャップとしたことを特徴とする請求項1記載の画像形成装置。
