Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006060842A1] A capping mechanism is disclosed for a pagewidth printhead assembly having a pagewidth printhead (51) and a plurality of nozzles located along the printhead for delivering ink onto print media as it is transported past the printhead. The capping mechanism comprises a capping member (82) having a length corresponding substantially to that of the printhead (51) and an actuating mechanism (90) arranged to effect linear transitioning of the capping member (82) from a non-capping first position (fig. 9B) to a second position (fig. 9C) at which the capping member is located in nozzle capping engagement with the printhead.
