A slider has two cap members which seal the nozzle openings of the two heads respectively. The slider is supported at a centre portion in a longitudinal direction by a support member which is rotatable amount a rotation shaft elongating in a direction perpendicular to a moving direction of the carriage. The support member is movable also in a direction opposing the recording heads in accordance with the movement of the slider. The support member includes a coil spring which buckles when the slider is moved to a capping position and generates a resilient force in the direction opposing the recording heads.
