 the orifice plate of the print cartridge after each print job and at predefined set 

points to ensure long product life.  The orifice plate on the print cartridge is wiped to remove any excess ink, which 
could harden and cause the nozzles to clog.  The print cartridge is then capped to prevent the ink nozzles from 
drying out. The cap vents into a rubber base through a vent line, so that all atmospheric interactions with the 
nozzles occur through the vent (see Table 2-1 in section 2.2.2 for cartridge life information).
