Abstract

A capping mechanism is disclosed for a pagewidth printhead assembly (50) having a pagewidth printhead (51) and a plurality of nozzles located along the printhead (51) for delivering ink onto print media as it is transported past the printhead. The capping mechanism comprises- i) a capping member (83) formed from a flexible sheet-like material and having a width corresponding substantially to the length of the printhead (51), and ii) means (84, 85) arranged to position the capping member (83) in nozzle capping engagement with the printhead (51). The capping mechanism (83) discloses in relation to a printhead assembly having two pagewidth printheads, and further disclosures are made in respect of an inkjet printer incorporating the capping mechanism and a method of capping a pagewidth printhead.
