Service Training
Lexmark inkjet printers use either a mechanical
maintenance station or a motor driven assembly to
wipe and cap the printhead.
The maintenance station has two functions:
• It seals the printhead nozzles using caps to
protect the nozzles from damage or drying
between print jobs.
• It cleans the printhead nozzles during printing
by wiping the nozzles and providing a place for
all nozzles to fire. The wiping action occurs
before firing all nozzles.
Seal Action
As the carrier moves to the right, a slot on the bottom
of the carrier engages a tab on the maintenance
station causing the caps to rise and seal the printhead
nozzles.
