Abstract

A printer is disclosed which comprises a pagewidth printhead assembly having a pagewidth printhead (51) and a plurality of nozzles located along the printhead for delivering ink onto print media as it is transported past the printhead and a capping mechanism having a capping member (82) having a length corresponding substantially to that of the printhead, a first actuating mechanism (84) arranged to move the printhead in an arcuate direction from a first to a second position (figure 9B) and a second actuating mechanism (85) arranged to move the capping member in a direction normal to the printhead (figure 9C) to effect nozzle capping engagement of the printhead when the printhead is in the second position.
