Abstract

A capping mechanism is disclosed for a printhead (51) having a plurality of nozzles arranged to deliver ink onto print media which is transported past the printhead. The capping mechanism comprises actuating means (84, 85) arranged to move the printhead (51) in an arcuate direction away from a transport plane of the print media, from a printing first position to a capping second position, and a capping member (82) which is arranged to engage in nozzle capping engagement (57) with the printhead when the printhead is in the second position.
