US Patent 7341329 Inkjet printer

An inkjet printer includes a recording head, a spacer, a wiping member, and an inflow preventing member. The recording head includes an ejection surface in which a plurality of ejection ports for ejecting ink are defined. The ejection surface faces a medium transport path.
