Zusammenfassung:To provide an inkjet printer capable of detecting a storage state of a waste liquid tank accurately even if a relatively inexpensive biasing member is used.SOLUTION: An inkjet printer 10 includes: a support base 43 supporting a waste liquid tank 41; a base member 42 supporting the support base 43 in a manner that the support base 43 can tilt with a support point part 43p set to a supporting point; a biasing spring 44 which biases an engagement part 43e1 of the support base 43 upward; and sensors 46, 47 which detect a tilting position of the support base 43. A placement part 43aa on which the waste liquid tank 41 is placed is disposed between the support point part 43p and the engagement part 43e1.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】比較的安価な付勢部材を用いても廃液タンクの貯留状態を精度良く検出することができるインクジェットプリンタを提供する。【解決手段】インクジェットプリンタ10は、廃液タンク41を支持する支持台43と、支点部43pを支点として支持台43を傾動可能に支持するベース部材42と、支持台43の係止部43e1を上方に付勢する付勢ばね44と、支持台43の傾動位置を検出するセンサ46,47と、を備える。廃液タンク41が載置される載置部43aaは、支点部43pと係止部43e1との間に配置されている。【選択図】図5
