Abstract
A cleaning and protecting device suited for a cartridge is provided. The cartridge moves back and forth along a first axis and has a print head. The cleaning and protecting device includes a cap, a scraper, and a transmission assembly. The cap moves back and forth along a second axis. When the cartridge moves to a first position and the cap moves to a second position, the cap leans against the cartridge to cover the print head. The transmission assembly is coupled to the cap and the scraper. When the cartridge is located at the first position and the cap moves away from the second position, the cap drives the transmission assembly to move the scraper to a third position to scrape the residual ink on the print head. An office machine is also provided.
