General Information
The printer features a printhead maintenance system used to clean the printhead
faceplate and clear clogs from the printhead nozzles. The system consists of a
the maintenance station assembly, a vacuum pump, a filter, air tubing, and a cam
gear (for positioning the maintenance station).

determine the state of the printer. The printer monitors the positions of some of
the movable assemblies, such as the printhead, as well as the temperature of the
printhead and fuser bar.
