ABSTRACT:
A storage container and method of storing inkjet cartridges and removable capping means therefor in which the order of their insertion and/or removal is controlled. Preferably, both the order of insertion of a cartridge and its capping means and the order of removal of said cartridge and capping means are controlled so that a cap and a printhead of a cartridge engage and disengage by the movement of the printhead towards or away from the cap thus preventing damage to the printhead by movement of the cap or any of the other components of a service module against the printhead. A rotatable arm mounted on the storage container which abuts a cartridge and obstructs the removal and/or insertion of the capping means is disclosed for controlling said order of insertion and removal.
