摘要:
A nozzle surface cleaning apparatus wipes a nozzle surface of a droplet ejection head. The apparatus includes: a wiping member which wipes the nozzle surface in which a nozzle aperture is formed; a head movement device which causes movement of the droplet ejection head in a head movement plane and in a head movement direction; and a fine vibration device which causes vibration of one of the wiping member and the droplet ejection head in a vibration plane and in a vibration direction, the vibration plane being parallel to the head movement plane, the vibration direction being different to the head movement direction.
