ABSTRACT:
A motor driven service station is provided which has a base unit that rotates to a selected angular position to present a black wiper or black cap to an ink-jet pen, when a black pen is installed, or a color wiper or color cap to the pen when a color pen is installed. The drive gears include a cam system which moves the base unit along an axis normal to the rotational axis to effect pen capping. Upon capping, a locking arm engages the pen to lock it in the service position.
