Function

The wiper is a small rubber or plastic blade that physically cleans the surface of the printhead. It removes excess ink, dust, and debris that could otherwise clog the nozzles. During a cleaning cycle, the printhead carriage moves over the wiper, scraping away any residue and ensuring the nozzles are clear for the next print job.

Maintenance Notes

Printhead clogs: Debris not properly wiped away can dry on the printhead, causing nozzle clogs.

Ink pooling: A damaged wiper may fail to remove excess ink, leading to ink buildup and poor print quality.

Printhead damage: A hardened or improperly installed wiper can scratch and damage the delicate printhead surface.
