Abstract

A capping mechanism (21) for a printhead having a capping member (29) which has a length corresponding substantially to the length of the printhead and which is configured to contact the printhead in nozzle capping engagement, and a pivotal carrier (30) supporting the capping member. An actuating mechanism (31) is provided and arranged to effect pivotal movement of the carrier back and forth between a first position at which the capping member is located remotely with respect to the printhead and a second position at which the capping member is located in contact with the printhead. The capping member is pivotally mounted to the carrier and is arranged to pivot relative to the carrier during back and forth transitional movement of the carrier between a transition position and the second position, wherein the transition position is located intermediate the first and second position.
