1. A holder assembly that holds a head module including an inkjet head on a mounting table, the holder assembly comprising:
a pressure member that presses a portion of the head module adjacent to the mounting table; and
an operation member that transitions the pressure member from a first state to a second state when work of mounting the head module on the mounting table is performed, wherein
in the first state, the pressing by the pressure member is deactivated, and in the second state, the pressing by the pressure member is activated, and
the operation member exists outside an enveloping surface of the head module during the work of mounting the head module on the mounting table;
wherein:
the operation member includes an operating lever,
the pressure member includes a pressure lever fixed onto the operating lever and a pressure head provided on a tip of the pressure lever, and
the pressure head includes an elastic member that applies an elastic force to the portion of the head module;
wherein a base end of the operating lever is pivotally supported at a position outside the enveloping surface, and
in response to swinging of the operating lever, the pressure head elastically presses the portion of the head module;
wherein the head module further comprises:
a bracket extending sideways from a lower portion of the inkjet head; and
an ink flow path member extending sideways from an upper portion of the inkjet head,
the enveloping surface envelops the bracket and the ink flow path member, and
in response to the swinging of the operating lever, the pressure lever moves through the enveloping surface into a space between the bracket and the ink flow path member, until the pressing head reaches the portion of the head module.

5. A holder assembly that holds a head module including an inkjet head on a mounting table, the holder assembly comprising:
a pressure member that presses a portion of the head module adjacent to the mounting table; and
an operation member that transitions the pressure member from a first state to a second state when work of mounting the head module on the mounting table is performed, wherein
in the first state, the pressing by the pressure member is deactivated, and in the second state, the pressing by the pressure member is activated, and
the operation member exists outside an enveloping surface of the head module during the work of mounting the head module on the mounting table;
wherein:
the operation member includes an operating lever,
the pressure member includes a pressure lever fixed onto the operating lever and a pressure head provided on a tip of the pressure lever, and
the pressure head includes an elastic member that applies an elastic force to the portion of the head module;
wherein a base end of the operating lever is pivotally supported at a position outside the enveloping surface, and
in response to swinging of the operating lever, the pressure head elastically presses the portion of the head module;
wherein the operation member further comprises a lock lever on the operating lever, and the lock lever extends from a position separated from a position where the base end of the pressure lever is fixed.

10. An inkjet recorder that conveys a recording medium and forms an image using an inkjet method on a conveyed recording medium, the inkjet recorder comprising:
a mounting table;
head modules each including an inkjet head;
an ink supply member that supplies heated ink to the head modules; and
holder assemblies each comprising:
a pressure member that presses a portion of a corresponding one of the head modules adjacent to the mounting table; and
an operation member that transitions the pressure member from a first state to a second state when work of mounting the head module on the mounting table is performed,
a position adjuster that adjusts mounting positions of the head modules on the mounting table while the head modules are held by the holder assemblies
wherein
in the first state, the pressing by the pressure member is deactivated, and in the second state, the pressing by the pressure member is activated, and
the operation member exists outside an enveloping surface of the corresponding one of the head modules during the work of mounting the head module on the mounting table; wherein a pair of pins protrude from the portions of each of the head modules, and
the position adjuster includes a pair of insertion points into which the pair of pins are inserted, and the pair of insertion points are supported on the mounted table to be slidable in a direction perpendicular to a direction along which the head modules are arranged.
