Service station and waste management
The main function of the service station is to maintain the printheads in the carriage assembly and to manage
the waste ink. The service station and waste management can be split into two subsystems:
●
PHC servicing, comprising cap, wiping, spitting, and priming functions
●
Waste management, which contains ink spit/aerosol ink collection and the aerosol filter
Components
SVS mechanics
The SVS mechanics provide the movement for the maintenance cartridge, which integrates the capping,
spitting, and wiping functions, and the cleaning roll assembly, which provides the means with which to
advance the cleaning roll accurately.
