As the carrier moves to the left 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 printheads. When the carrier moves
to the right, it uncaps the printheads. The wipers clean
the printhead nozzle plates as the carrier leaves the
maintenance station. The wipers clean the printheads
only 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 wipers to lower.
Worn wipers can cause poor print quality after printhead
cleaning. Check for loose or worn wipers.
Worn caps cause the printhead nozzles to dry and clog.
