Cap/Wipe/Purge Assembly
The cap/wipe/purge assembly is a long, shallow cup with an
elastomeric gasket. (Refer to Figure 1-24.) When raised and pressed
against the face of the printhead, it forms an airtight seal. After
forming the seal, a partial vacuum is applied to the faceplate to suck
out air bubbles and any debris that may be obstructing the printhead
nozzles. Following the vacuum cycle, the cap/wipe/ purge assembly
performs a wipe operation on the faceplate using its squeegee-like
wiper blade. The cap/wipe/purge assembly also receives the ink
ejected from the printhead during the flush portion of the printhead
maintenance cycle. The flushed ink is routed to the waste tray of the
drum maintenance drawer. The cap/wipe/purge assembly is heated to
keep the waste ink fluid during the wipe and purge operations.
