Abstract

An ink-jet recording apparatus is provided, the ink-jet recording apparatus including an ink-jet head, a first carriage on which the ink-jet head is carried, a guide member, a moving mechanism which moves the first carriage along the guide member, a transport mechanism which transports a medium along a transport surface, and a second carriage which is reciprocatively movable while following movement of the first carriage and which is constructed relatively movably in a direction perpendicular to the transport surface with respect to the first carriage. The second carriage has a protective member which protects a jetting surface from the medium and a regulating member which regulates movement of the second carriage in relation to a third direction.
