Abstract
Provided is a printing apparatus having a support member with a printhead slot, a first tubing to provide a first printing fluid, and a second tubing to provide a second printing fluid. An end portion of the first tubing is arranged in an active position to provide the first printing fluid to a printhead in the printhead slot. An end portion of the second tubing is arranged in a standby position to not provide the second printing fluid to a printhead. A mechanical structure to which the end portion of the first tubing is attached allows to remove the end portion of the first tubing from the active position and to arrange the end portion of the second tubing in the active position.
