Abstract: An ink-jet head comprises a conveyance unit that forms a conveyance face on which a recording medium is conveyed, and a first moving mechanism that moves the conveyance unit. By means of the first moving mechanism, the conveyance unit selectively takes a conveyance position where the conveyance face is adjacent to an ink ejection surface, and a withdrawal position that is other than a position vertically below a maintenance unit. When the maintenance unit performs maintenance on the head, the conveyance unit is disposed in the withdrawal position.
