A recording head recovery system has a recording head, a tank, and a control portion. The control portion can perform a recovery operation of the recording head including a cleaning solution feeding operation where cleaning solution is fed through cleaning solution feed ports by locating the tank such that the solution surface of the cleaning solution in the tank is above a first position which is the height of the cleaning solution feed ports, a wiping operation where a wiper wipes an ink ejection surface, and a non-feeding operation where the cleaning solution is sucked into the cleaning solution feed ports by locating the tank such that the solution surface of the cleaning solution in the tank is below the first position.
