Abstract
An inkjet printing apparatus comprises a carriage, on which a printhead is mounted, configured to move, a lever member configured to be rotatable about a rotating shaft and to be engageable with an engaging portion of the carriage, and a cam mechanism configured to have first and second locked states in which the lever member engages with the engaging portion of the carriage. The first locked state restricts a rotation of the lever member so as not to release an engagement with the engaging portion, and the second locked state allows the rotation of the lever member so as to release the engagement with the engaging portion.
