Abstract
An ink jet recording apparatus is provided which is capable of performing a recording function for recording images on a sheet material when an ink jet recording head discharging ink from ink discharge ports is installed thereon and for performing an image reading function to read images from a sheet material when an image reading head is installed thereon. The ink jet recording head includes a discharge port surface having the ink discharge ports formed thereon. The image reading head includes an image reading surface for reading images. The apparatus includes a member abutting upon and arranged to be in contact with the ink discharge port surface of the ink jet recording head when the ink jet recording head is installed. The member is also arranged so as not to be in contact with the image reading surface of the image reading head when the image reading head is installed.
