Thermal ink jet recording device and method of cleaning a recording head

摘要: In an ink jet recording device of the type wherein droplets are ejected from orifices using thermal energy and heater for supplying is oriented in a direction substantially perpendicular to orifice surface, cleaning unit provided head device. The includes integral wiper pool. head, that gathers on will drip downward by its own weight, resulting very little spread toward adjacent orifice, thereby minimizing degree at which different color inks mix surface head.
