Abstract:
1. An image recording device, comprising: a head unit including a print head that performs image recording by ejecting a liquid onto a recording medium and a first substrate that supplies to the print head an electric signal that is used to control the print head; a second substrate that is provided separate to the head unit, the second substrate supplying to the head unit an electric signal used to control the print head; and a support member that supports the head unit and the second substrate while allowing a positional relationship between the head unit and the second substrate to be changed between a first positional relationship in which the head unit and the second substrate are close to each other and a second positional relationship in which the head unit and the second substrate are away from each other, wherein the support member fully supports the head unit and the second substrate while in the first and second positional relationships, wherein while the head unit and the second substrate are in the first positional relationship and are supported by the support member, the head unit and the second substrate are connected together such that an electric signal supply path is formed from the second substrate to the head unit, and while the head unit and the second substrate are in the second positional relationship and are supported by the support member, the head unit and the second substrate are disconnected from each other and the head unit is dismountable from the support member.
