Abstract
A printer includes: a platen; a printhead assembly having an inkjet printhead operatively positioned opposite the platen; a feed mechanism for feeding a web of print media over the platen and along a printing feed path; and a diverter configured for periodically diverting a portion of the web towards the printhead assembly and along a maintenance feed path. The portion of the web diverted along the maintenance feed path wipes part of the printhead assembly and removes condensation.
