Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus for use servicing a printer's printhead (22a, 22b) is provided which includes a sled (14) cam-coupled with a base (12) so as to accommodate selected movement of the sled (14) between a free elevation and a servicing elevation via controlled relative movement of a printer (10) carriage (20). The sled (14) and base (12) are coupled via camming structure (24, 26) which is configured to yieldably oppose movement of the sled (14) from the servicing elevation toward the free elevation. Mounted to the sled (14) is a servicing member such as a wiper (18a, 18b) which is gradually moved into operative association with the printer's printhead (22a, 22b) upon corresponding movement of the sled (14) into the servicing elevation.
