Image recording device

An image recording device, comprising:

• a support member for supporting a recording medium that is conveyed in a conveyance direction;
• a print head for ejecting a liquid from a nozzle to record an image on the recording medium on the support member, at an image recording position facing the support member;
• a maintenance unit for executing a first maintenance on the print head;
• a first guide mechanism for guiding movement of the print head between the image recording position and a maintenance-receiving position, which is a position different from that of the support member in a second direction orthogonal to a first direction in which the print head at the image recording position and the support member face each other;
• and
• a second guide mechanism for guiding movement of the maintenance unit between a withdrawn position for separating away from the print head in a third direction, which is a direction orthogonal to the second direction, in relation to the print head at the maintenance-receiving position, and a maintenance position for drawing nearer to the print head than the withdrawn position;
• the maintenance unit, when at the maintenance unit, facing the print head at the maintenance-receiving position and being able to execute the first maintenance on the print head, and when the maintenance unit is at the withdrawn position, there existing between the print head at the maintenance-receiving position and the maintenance unit a space allowing for a second maintenance by manual task to be performed on the print head.
