Service Station system
Functionality
Item Function
Printhead Wipers These are rubber paddles that are passed through the nozzle
plate of the printhead with the Service Station movement. They
clean the excess ink from the nozzle plate with a rubbing
action.
Printhead Cap This caps and protects the nozzles from drying when they are
not printing.
Service Station Motor system This moves the shuttle with the wiper and the cap so that these
two items can perform their functions. The system is composed
of a DC motor and an encoder disk with an encoder sensor to
read the motor position.
Bottom Spittoon This part acts as an ink reservoir when spitting and nozzle
health operations are performed. It contains diapers that
prevent the ink becoming liquid.
Top Spittoon This seals the reservoir and completes the main body of the
service station.
