Abstract
To provide an inkjet recording device that makes it possible to have a constant gap between a recording medium and the nozzle surface of an inkjet head in the direction of extension of a head support member even in a case where a print section supporting the inkjet head with bilateral anchoring via the head support member has low rigidity, the invention is provided with a print section including a left base plate and a right base plate for supporting, by bilateral anchoring via a carriage guide, an inkjet head for printing on a recording medium; and a leg movement section that is provided to the right base plate and moves the right base plate toward the left base plate to correct for a bending of the carriage guide.

An inkjet recording device, comprising:
- a print section having a pair of leg sections configured and arranged to support by bilateral anchoring, via a head support member, an inkjet head for printing onto a recording medium, one of the pair of leg sections being movable and the other one of the pair of leg sections being fixed;
- and
- a leg movement section which is provided to the one of the pair of leg sections, the leg movement section being configured and arranged to move the one of the pair of leg sections toward the other one of the pair of leg sections in a direction of extension of the head support member.
