Zusammenfassung:To make it possible to easily separate a cap from a discharge port surface.SOLUTION: An ink jet recording device comprises: a recording head having a discharge port surface on which discharge ports for discharging an ink are arranged; a cap unit which is movable between a capping position at which the cap unit covers the discharge port surface and a retreat position at which the cap unit does not cover the discharge port surface; a cam mechanism for moving the cap unit; a lifting component which contacts the cam mechanism, thereby causing the cam mechanism to perform a separation operation for moving the cap unit from the capping position to the retreat position; and an auxiliary surface for assisting the separation operation. The auxiliary surface contacts the cap unit when the cap unit is not moved to the retreat position by contact between the cam mechanism and the lifting component, and does not contact the cap unit when the cap unit has been moved to the retreat position by contact between the cam mechanism and the lifting component.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】 キャップを吐出口面から容易に離間する。【解決手段】 インクを吐出する吐出口が配列された吐出口面を有する記録ヘッドと、前記吐出口面を覆うキャッピング位置と吐出口面を覆わない退避位置とに移動可能なキャップユニットと、キャップユニットを移動させるためのカム機構と、カム機構と当接することでキャップユニットをキャッピング位置から退避位置に移動する離間動作を行わせる昇降部材と、離間動作を補助するための補助面と、を備え、補助面は、カム機構と昇降部材の当接によってキャップユニットが退避位置に移動しない場合はキャップユニットと当接し、カム機構と昇降部材の当接によってキャップユニットが退避位置に移動した場合はキャップユニットと当接しない。【選択図】 図6
