ABSTRACT:
A cap carriage for use in a maintenance station of an ink jet printer. The printer includes a bidirectionally translatable carriage supporting a print cartridge having a printhead with ink droplet ejecting nozzles in a nozzle face. The printhead prints on a recording medium when the printhead is in the printing zone and the printhead nozzles are covered by a cap at a maintenance station positioned on one side of the printing zone when the printhead is not printing. The cap is carried by the cap carriage, which is engaged by the translatable carriage and moved in unison therewith. During the movement of the cap carriage, the cap is brought into sealing engagement with the printhead nozzle face in response to movement by the cap carriage.
