b) Wiper unit
The wiper unit operated by the purge motor wipes the printhead face.
The printer is provided with a pair of wiper blades for better wiping performance.
The wiping operation is performed by a "slide wipe" method by which the purge motor rotates (in the normal direction) to slide the wiper blade via the wiper cam.
It is performed by a constant-speed movement toward the front of the printer as viewed from the printer front.
The wiper blade, which is positioned at right angles to the printhead, wipes the entire printhead face, and then the narrow blade is used to wipe the nozzle arrays.
After wiping, the wipe blades are cleaned before they are set at the wiping position so that the maximum wiping performance is obtained.
During the wiper blade cleaning, the ink removed form the head is rubbed off by the in scraper.
Absorbent material soaked with glycerin is pressed against the wiper blades to enhance the wiping performance. The amount of glycerin used (tank capacity: 50
ml) is managed by counting the number of times the wiper blade is pressed against the absorbent material. When the count reaches the following value, an advance
notice of replacement (printing can be continued) or a request for replacement (service call error) is displayed.

c) Pump unit
This printer uses tube pumps (suction pumps) that press on the ink tubes using rollers to produce negative pressure, thus sucking ink.
Two rollers are used to press on a single tube one after another to control the amount of ink sucked.
The roller rotation timing is detected by the pump cam sensor, and the amount of rotation is controlled by the driving of the purge motor.
