ABSTRACT:
An ink-jet printer comprises a printhead including a front face defining an array of nozzle openings for the emission of ink droplets therethrough. A shuttle, including a wiper closely associated therewith, is disposed on a track adapted for the traveling of the shuttle through a fixed path generally parallel to the array. As the shuttle moves along the array, a mechanism including a lead screw causes the motion of the wiper against a portion of the front face of the printhead in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the array.
