ABSTRACT:
A cap actuating assembly for an ink supply cartridge of a printer includes a pivoting member adapted for rotation about a pin between first and second positions. An actuating arm extends from the pivoting member and is operatively engaged by a printhead to begin the rotation and advancement of the cap into a sealed position. The entire cap actuating assembly is also slidably received on a support rail for limited movement between first and second stop members. Biasing members assist in removing the cap assembly from its sealed engagement and preparing the cap actuating assembly for sealing the printhead during the next storage operation.
