Maintenance Station Service Check

The maintenance station has two functions:

1. Cleans the printhead nozzles during the print operation.

2. When the printer is not in use, it seals the printhead to prevent 

the nozzles from drying.

Maintenance 
Station Assembly

As the carrier moves to the right over the 
maintenance station, a slot on the bottom of the 
carrier engages a tab on the sled of the 
maintenance station causing the cap to rise and 
seal the printhead. Carrier movement to the left 
will uncap the printhead. The wiper cleans the 
printhead nozzles as the carrier leaves the 
maintenance station. The wiper cleans the 
printhead only when the carrier is moving to the 
left. There should be no wiping action of the 
printhead nozzles when the carrier is moving to 
the right. After the cleaning operation is complete, 
a tab on the maintenance station engages a tab 
on the carrier, causing the wiper to lower.

Check the maintenance station for worn or broken 
parts.

2

Wiper

A worn wiper causes degraded print quality just 
after a maintenance cleaning. Check for loose or 
worn wiper.

3

Cap

A worn cap causes the printhead nozzles to dry 
and clog. Check for loose or worn cap.
