Original Abstract Submitted
an ink-jet recording apparatus includes a conveying unit, a recording head, a head housing, and a guide rail. the recording head includes an ink ejection surface provided with a plurality of nozzles which ejects ink toward the recording medium conveyed by the conveying unit. the head housing holds the recording head. the guide rail supports the head housing so that the head housing can reciprocate with respect to the conveying belt. the ink ejection surface is parallel to a conveying surface of the conveying belt. moreover, the ink ejection surface is inclined with respect to a horizontal direction in a cross section orthogonal to an axial direction of the conveying roller. by moving the head housing along the guide rail extending in the horizontal direction, the ink ejection surface reciprocates between a printing position close to a conveying surface and a maintenance position retracted from the conveying surface.
