Purge cam mechanism
The purge cam is so designed that:
- the carriage lock pops out to lock the head/carriage unit before purging and pops in before
cleaning with the head wiper (this lock also secures the head/carriage unit during transportation),
- the pump switching unit switches application of the negative pressure from the pump between the
black head nozzles, the color head nozzles, and the air vent rod unit. When the purge cam is in the
head capping position, the pump switching unit opens their interiors to normal atmospheric
pressure.
- the head wiper comes out to clean the nozzle surface, and
- the air vent rods are pushed up via the slide cams to expel air trapped.
The purge cam switch detects the cam drive positions. (See
