ABSTRACT:
An ink jet system printer includes a capping mechanism for covering a printer head when a carriage is located at a stand-by position. The capping mechanism includes a cap member supported by a slidable plate. The slidable plate is shifted toward the printer head as the printer head moves to the stand-by position through the use of links, whereby the cap member covers the nozzle portion included in the printer head. That is, the slidable plate is shifted by the travelling force of the carriage and, therefore, a separate drive source is not required for the slidable plate.
