Zusammenfassung:	In a system and method for using a wiper (304) to clean a nozzle plate (110) of an inkjet head, a spring (552,608) is disposed between a wiper blade (506) and a mounting body (556), and the mounting body (556) has a top portion and a bottom portion. The wiper blade (506) is disposed proximate the top portion of the mounting body (556) relative to the bottom portion of the mounting body (556). In addition, the wiper blade (506) is transported across the face of a nozzle plate (110) for wiping portions of the nozzle plate. A distance between the wiper blade (506) and the bottom portion of the mounting body (556) is varied by varying the compression of the spring (552,608) in accordance with variations in distances between the portions of the nozzle plate (110) and the bottom portion of the mounting body (556).
