Embodiment Construction

[0023] FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a multifunction device 10 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. A recording head 39 (see FIG. 2 ) according to an exemplary embodiment is included in the multifunction device 10 .

[0024] A multifunction device (MFD) integrally includes a printer unit 11 at a lower portion and a scanner unit 12 at an upper portion, and the MFD 10 has, for example, a printing function, a scanning function, a copying function, and a facsimile function. Functions other than the printing function in the multifunction device 10 are arbitrary and may be omitted. That is, the present invention can also be applied to a single-function printer that does not have the scanner unit 12 and does not have a scanning function or a copying function.

[0025] Multifunction device 10 may be connected to a personal computer (not shown). Based on print data sent from a personal computer, which includes image data and text data, an image o...

Abstract

An inkjet recording apparatus and a recording head are provided. The inkjet recording apparatus includes a recording head including a nozzle formation surface, the nozzle formation surface including a plurality of nozzles formed thereon for discharging ink to record an image on a recording medium conveyed to a position opposing the nozzle formation surface; a wiper blade configured to contact thenozzle formation surface to wipe the nozzle formation surface; and an introducing portion formed on a side surface of the recording head intersecting the nozzle formation surface, the introducing portion configured to introduce ink attached to the wiper blade or the nozzle formation surface to the side surface to hold the introduced ink at the side surface. The inkjet recording apparatus and the recording head prevent ink which has attached to the nozzle formation surface or the wiper blade dropping into the device, as well as prevent the width increase of the recording head.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Intersecting Applications [0002] This application claims priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2007-254090 filed on September 28, 2007, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] Aspects of the present application relate to an inkjet recording device and a recording head. Background technique [0004] A recording head in the related art records an image on a recording medium. The recording medium is conveyed to a position opposed to a nozzle forming surface having a plurality of ink discharge nozzles formed thereon, and ink is discharged from the nozzles onto the recording medium. An inkjet recording apparatus in the related art includes such a recording head and a wiper blade that contacts a nozzle forming face of the recording head and wipes ink adhering to the nozzle forming face. [0005] In such a recording head and an inkjet recording apparatus, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application No. 200...
