Patent attributes
An inkjet printer comprising a printhead assembly is provided. The printhead assembly comprises a printhead module configured for ejecting ink in a first direction and a capping device. The capping device is reciprocally movable between an open position in which the printhead module may eject ink onto a print medium, and a closed position in which a blocking part of the capping device blocks the printhead module from ejecting ink onto a print medium. The capping device comprises a first surface for engagement with a second surface of the assembly, the first and second surfaces being configured to move the blocking part of the capping device away from the printhead module in the first direction during movement from the open to the closed position.
