ABSTRACT:
A manually removable service module is provided for use with an inkjet printer having a service zone for printhead servicing functions including printhead priming. The service module comprises a nozzle plate cap for interfacing with a nozzle plate of a printhead to perform priming functions, a primer port for connecting the service module to a primer located within the printer, and a path through the service module between the interfacing cap and the primer port. The primer port is automatically connected to the primer as the service module is inserted into the printer by a user of the printer. In a embodiment there is also provided an ink separation chamber having a plurality of baffle walls within the service module so as to prevent ink from contaminating the primer port.
