1. An image recording device, comprising: a support member for supporting a recording medium being conveyed in a conveyance direction; a print head for ejecting a liquid from a nozzle at a first position facing the support member, to record an image on the recording medium that is on the support member; a maintenance unit for carrying out a first maintenance on the print head, the maintenance unit being arranged at a position different from that of the support member in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to the facing direction in which the print head at the first position and the support member face each other; and a guide mechanism for guiding movement of the print head between the first position, a second position at which the print head faces the maintenance unit and receives the first maintenance, and a third position which is a position different from those of the support member and the maintenance unit in the orthogonal direction, a space by which a second maintenance by manual task can be performed on the print head, at a position facing the print head, being present when the print head is at the third position.
