ABSTRACT:
A compact printer has a powered roller for moving printable media past a fixed printhead. A nozzle capping mechanism for the printhead includes a capping arm operatively associated with the powered roller, a cap supported by the capping arm and movable with the capping arm between a position protecting the printhead and a position spaced from the printhead. The cap rests adjacent the printhead with the capping arm moving the cap away from the printhead when the powered roller rotates.
