Abstract

A method of wiping a pagewidth inkjet printhead. The method includes the steps of: wiping a web transversely across the printhead, the web having a width corresponding substantially to a length of the printhead; and subsequently positioning the web either upstream only or downstream only of the printhead, relative to a media feed direction.
