ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for use in servicing a printer's printhead is provided which includes an elongate lever pivotally coupled with the printer's chassis so as to accommodate pivoting movement of the lever between a free orientation and a printhead-servicing orientation. A servicing member such as a wiper is mounted on the lever, the servicing member selectively being brought into operative association with the printhead by pivotal movement of the lever into the printhead-servicing orientation. Lever pivoting is controlled via cammed engagement between the lever and a printer carriage.
