Following the short ﬂush, the printhead is tilted back and the cap/wipe/purge

assembly is lowered into its standby position. A cap/wipe/purge sensor on I/O

board 2 detects when the cap/wipe/purge assembly is stored in its standby

position. Then the printhead is tilted forward into its print position and a

"ﬂush" page is printed. The ﬂush page allows each jet to eject ink that may be

slightly contaminated with another ink.
