The pad and blade is attached to the cleaner lever. When the pump motor rotates clockwise, the spur
gear (20) is rotated and thus sets the lever forward. When the pump motor rotates counter-clockwise,
the cleaner lever is reset.
The spur gear will be disengaged from the cleaner lever as soon as the lever is either set or reset.
The cleaner lever is also used as a carriage lock lever. When the printhead is locked in the capped state,
this lever functions as a printhead holder and prevents the cap from coming off in a shock.
