Abstract: There is provided an image recording apparatus which includes a head; a carriage capable of reciprocating in a main scanning direction of a paper; a maintenance section of the recording head; a pair of rollers for transporting the paper; and a motor for driving the maintenance section and the pair of rollers; and in which when the carriage is at a maintenance position, the rollers in the pair are separated away from each other. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce an electric power consumption of the motor during the maintenance work, and to reduce noise generated from the pair of rollers at the time of maintenance.

Abstract: In an ink jet-type printer device, a printer head has ink passages and actuators for jetting ink from the ink passages. An integrated circuit for driving the actuators and its leading electrodes having respective connecting terminals are provided on the printer head. A printed circuit plate has an electric wiring pattern having connecting terminals which correspond to the connecting terminals on the printer head. The printer head is attached to the printed circuit plate by an adhesive with its connecting terminals being made to contact with the corresponding connecting terminals on the printed circuit plate. The printed circuit plate is assembled to a carriage integrally with the printer head.
