Inkjet Recording Apparatus

An inkjet recording apparatus comprising:

• at least one inkjet head which has an ejection surface for ejecting ink;
• a feeding mechanism which includes a feed member having a feed surface on a surface thereof that is opposed to the ejection surface and which is configured to drive the feed member so as to feed a recording medium on the feed surface in a feeding direction;
• a wiper blade which is configured to remove ink that is adhered to the feed surface by contacting the feed surface;
• a judging portion which is configured to judge whether cleaning of the feed surface is necessary;
• and
• a controller which is configured to control the at least one inkjet head and the feeding mechanism, in a case where the judging portion judges that the cleaning of the feed surface is necessary, in order to perform a first operation in which ink is ejected to the feed surface and a second operation in which the feed member is driven.
