Zusammenfassung:Exemplary printing apparatuses include, among other components, a printhead structure that includes nozzles adapted to eject liquid ink, a carriage assembly having positioning structures, and one or more printhead caps or cups within the carriage assembly. The carriage assembly is shaped to latch to the printhead structure. The printhead includes corresponding structures and the positioning structures engage with the corresponding structures when the carriage assembly is latched to the printhead structure. Also, the printhead caps are positioned within the carriage assembly so as to cover the nozzles when the carriage assembly is connected to the printhead structure.
