Abstract
There is provided an ink jet recording apparatus including: first cleaning which performs non-recording ejection of ink for ink jet recording to an ink receiving medium and cleans a nozzle and a nozzle surface of a print head; second cleaning which moves the print head to the ink receiving medium, performs non-recording ejection of the ink for ink jet recording from the print head to the ink receiving medium under a condition that the amount of the ink for ink jet recording is smaller than an amount of the ink ejected in the non-recording ejection by the first cleaning and an execution frequency is higher than that in the first cleaning, and cleans the nozzle of the print head; and a wiping mechanism which wipes the nozzle surface by using a wiping member.
