The present invention provides a nozzle face wiping device and an image recording device that can switch whether to wipe out a nozzle face by a simple mechanism. According to one mode of the present invention, it is possible to brake the running of the wiping web by the braking device on the upstream side (supply shaft side) of the pressure member. In a case where the running direction of the wiping web wound around the pressure member and the relative movement direction of the nozzle face are the same, it is possible to prevent the wiping web from being forcefully drawn out from the supply shaft by braking the running of the wiping web by the braking device. By this means, it is possible to wipe out the nozzle face from two directions.
