A maintenance device for use in a liquid ejection apparatus including a liquid ejection head is disclosed. The maintenance device maintains the liquid ejection head and includes a cap, wiper, and head guide portion. The cap is movable between a capping position, in which the cap contacts the liquid ejection head, and a retreat position, in which the cap is separated from the liquid ejection head. The wiper is capable of wiping a nozzle forming surface of the liquid ejection head by moving in a wiping direction. The head guide portion positions the cap relative to the liquid ejection head so that the cap is parallel to the nozzle forming surface when arranged at the capping position and positions the wiper relative to the liquid ejection head so that the wiper is parallel to the nozzle forming surface during the wiping.

An inkjet type printer having a recording head is disclosed. The printer includes a cap and a raising and lowering unit. The raising and lowering unit moves the cap between a sealing position at which the cap contacts the recording head and a retreat position at which the cap is separated from the recording head. The raising and lowering unit includes a selection cam, a cleaning mechanism, and a lift lever. The cleaning mechanism supports the cap and the selection cam, and is movable along the moving direction of the cap. The distal end of the lift lever is engaged with the selection cam at a position near the outer circumference of the selection cam, and the proximal end of the lift lever is coupled to a pressure adjustment shaft. The selection cam is raised or lowered while being rotated about the distal end of the lift lever, so that the cap is moved between the sealing position and the retreat position.

A fluid ejection apparatus that ejects fluid from an ejection nozzle in an ejection head includes a fluid receiver that has a concave portion for accommodating the ejected fluid and defines a closed space around the ejection nozzle when the concave portion contacts the ejection head. Suction pumps suck the fluid in the concave portion through suction ports in the concave portion. A fluid suction unit sucks the fluid in the ejection head through the ejection nozzle by operating the suction pumps such that the concave portion contacts the ejection head. An air suction unit sucks the air and the fluid in the concave portion of the fluid receiver after completion of suction of the fluid in the ejection head, by allowing at least one suction pump to reverse the air flow in collaboration with the operation of at least one other suction pump.

A liquid ejecting apparatus that ejects a liquid from ejection nozzles formed in an ejection head. The liquid ejecting apparatus includes: a liquid receiver that is provided with a concave receiving the liquid from the ejection head; a suction pump that is connected to an opening formed in the concave and sucks the liquid in the concave; and a sucking auxiliary member that is applied with a negative pressure from the suction pump and drawn into the concave in a direction of the opening to assist the process of sucking the liquid in the concave by the suction pump.

A maintenance device for doing maintenance of an inkjet type recording apparatus having a recording head is provided. The maintenance device includes a selecting portion. The selecting portion has a plurality of movable bodies each corresponding to one of nozzle groups of the recording head. Each movable body is driven by the drive source so as to be movable between a selection position and a non-selection position. When arranged at the selection position, each movable body allows the suction portion to apply suction to the movable body and allows the wiper corresponding to the movable body to perform wiping. When arranged at the non-selection position, each movable body inhibits the suction portion from applying suction to the movable body and inhibits the wiper corresponding to the movable body from performing wiping.
