2.2.7 Wiping Mechanism

The wiping mechanism cleans the surface of the

printhead

nose when the printer is in the inksystem sequence. The wiper drive gear transmits @wer from the paper feed motor via the clutchgear. When the wiper is raised up (against the

printhead

surt%ce), the hook for securing thecarriage to the home position is raised, too. When the wiper goes down toward the bottom frame,the hook goes down, too. Both the black head and the color head are cleaned by this wiper.
