Image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus, comprising:

• a recording head having a nozzle configured to jet a liquid drop of ink;
• a wiper member configured to be moved between a wiping position where a nozzle surface of the recording head is wiped and a non-wiping position where the wiper member is separated from the nozzle surface;
• a waste liquid tank movably provided and configured to receive a waste liquid of the ink, the waste liquid being generated by idle-ejecting the liquid drop not contributing to image forming from the recording head;
• and
• a moving part configured to move the waste liquid tank tied to movement of the wiper member,
• wherein a position of the waste liquid tank in a case of idle-ejection being performed from the recording head last time and a position of the waste liquid tank in a case of idle-ejection being performed from the recording head this time are different.

An image forming apparatus, comprising:

• a recording head having a nozzle configured to jet a liquid drop of ink;
• a conveyance part configured to convey a sheet;
• a waste liquid tank provided movably and configured to receive a waste liquid of the ink generated by idle-ejecting the liquid drop not contributing to image forming from the recording head;
• and
• a moving part configured to move the waste liquid tank tied to movement of the conveyance part,
• wherein a position of the waste liquid tank in a case of idle-ejection being performed from the recording head last time and another position of the waste liquid tank in a case of idle-ejection being performed from the recording head this time are different.
