Abstract
A method of capping a plurality of printheads positioned in a staggered overlapping arrangement across a width of a media feed path. Each printhead has a respective capper. The method includes the steps of: moving the cappers towards respective printheads in a direction parallel to a media feed direction; and lowering the printheads onto their respective cappers. The cappers for neighboring printheads are moved in opposite directions towards their respective printheads.
