Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus for use in servicing a printer's printhead (16a, 16b) is provided which includes an elongate lever (14) pivotally coupled with the printer's chassis (12) so as to accommodate pivoting movement of the lever (14) between a free orientation and a printhead-servicing orientation. A servicing member such as a wiper (18a) is mounted on the lever (14), the servicing member selectively being brought into operative association with the printhead (16a, 16b) by pivotal movement of the lever (14) into the printhead-servicing orientation. Lever (14) pivoting is controlled via cammed engagement between the lever (14) and a printer carriage (16).
