摘要：A capping mechanism for an ink jet print head, both of which are mounted on acarrier for lateral movement on a laterally extending guide rail by a motor controlled bya control device in a direction across a recording medium placed in an ink jet printer. Theink jet print head has a plurality of ink ejection nozzles for forming characters on therecording medium as it laterally moves across the recording medium under the controlof the control device in response to the inputting of such characters by a keyboard. Thecapping mechanism is also mounted for sliding movement relative to the ink ejectionnozzles of the ink jet print head between a capped position and an uncapped position. Inthe capped position, the capping mechanism forms an air tight seal with the ink ejectionnozzles. A device, such as mechanical stops or an electromagnet, is also provided to slidethe capping mechanism between the capped position and the uncapped position.
