MAINTENANCE UNIT
J001/J003 6-20 SM
The maintenance [A] unit lowers.
Another cam raises the wiper [B]. At the
same time the carriage moves the print
heads left far enough so the vacuumed
print head can make contact with the
wiper. The wiper cleans the ink [C] from
the print head.
Then the carriage [D] moves right to the
home position. Then the maintenance unit
caps the print heads [E].
A cam on the main shaft below vibrates
the small scraper [F]. This removes the
ink bolus from the wall of the trap, the
waste is sent to the waste ink tank.
