ABSTRACT:
An ink jet printer having cap station articulation with a printhead cartridge located on a fast scan carriage. The fast scan carriage includes a sliding connector plate which allows easy vertical insertion and electrical interconnect of the printhead cartridge without interference of the capping station. Movement of the sliding connector plate can be controlled manually, or automatically, by a latch to provide for cartridge installation. When the latch is closed, the latch fixedly attaches the sliding connector plate on the fast scan carriage. When the latch is opened, the sliding connector plate is movable to a cartridge install position spaced a distance along the scan carriage and displaced from a cap station. In this position, the cartridge is free to be dropped vertically onto the sliding connector plate, using features provided by a heat sink and a plastic cartridge wall as rough locators.
