Abstract
An ink ejectability maintenance device maintains an ink ejectability of at least one recording head which ejects ink droplets to a recording medium. A first wiper wipes a nozzle formation face of the recording head in a first direction. A second wiper wipes the nozzle formation face in a second direction which is different from the first direction. The first direction is a direction in which the recording head reciprocately moves, and the second direction is a direction in which the recording medium is fed. The first wiper and the second wiper are disposed on a single base member.
