2.2.4 Ink System Mechanism
The ink system mechanism includes the capping mechanism and the pump mechanism.
And the capping mechanism includes the carriage lock mechanism and the wiping
mechanism. The table below describes the function of each mechanism.
Figure 2-13. Ink System Mechanism
2.2.4.1 Capping Mechanism
The capping mechanism incorporates the wiping mechanism, however, the two
mechanisms operate independently. Capping the printhead is performed by the carriage
movement as the conventional models (such as Stylus CX4900/CX5000/CX6000) do.
Figure 2-14. Capping Mechanism
2.2.4.2 Carriage Lock Mechanism
The carriage lock mechanism is activated by the capping operation. Locking or
unlocking the carriage is performed by the PF motor drive force that is transmitted via
the cam of the clutch-equipped combination gear. (See
"Wiping Mechanism (p32)" for
more explanation about the cap slider and the cam operations)
