A return spring at the top of the tilt arm pulls the printhead toward
the drum.
In the print position, the tilt arm gear’s missing teeth are positioned
at the tilt arm gear’s drive gear. When actuated, a leaf spring pushes
against a cam lobe on the backside of the tilt cam gear to give the tilt
cam gear a slight rotation and engage its teeth to the drive gear. The
leaf spring is held away from the cam lobe of the tilt cam gear by the
cap/wipe/purge assembly in its standby position. Slightly raising the
cap/ wipe/purge assembly releases the leaf spring and allows it to
push the cam lobe and rotate the tilt arm gear slightly.
