Abstract
In a multi-functional apparatus, a carriage having a printhead and a scanner mounted thereon is reciprocally and slidably moved along a guide shaft by a driving motor as a driving source, a transparent window is provided adjacent to an opening formed in a lower portion of the scanner, a recess for disposing a dusting implement is formed at a side of a document support which is disposed below the scanner and supports a document to be scanned, and an electronic controller controls the driving motor so that the window of the scanner is disposed over the recess for disposing the dusting implement therein when a cleaning mode is selected.
Claims13
In a multi-functional apparatus having a main frame, a printhead for printing data on a recordable paper by injecting ink on the recordable paper using nozzles, a scanner for reading a document having data, a carriage on which the printhead and the scanner are disposed, driving means for moving the carriage reciprocally, guiding means mounted so as to traverse the main frame for guiding the carriage, and a window mounted below the scanner;
- the improvement wherein said apparatus further comprises a support disposed in opposition to the window of the scanner to support the document, said support having a recess formed therein for positioning a dusting implement therein to clean the window at a predetermined position of the document support, and wherein the carriage is moved such that the window is disposed over the recess in which the dusting implement is positioned when a cleaning mode is selected.
In a multi-functional apparatus having a main frame, a printhead for printing data on a recordable paper by injecting ink on the recordable paper using nozzles, a scanner for reading a document having data, a carriage on which the printhead and the scanner are disposed, driving means for moving the carriage reciprocally, guiding means mounted so as to traverse the main frame for guiding the carriage, and a window mounted below the scanner;
- the improvement wherein the apparatus comprises an outer cover and a throughhole is formed at a position in the outer cover, said guiding means extending into said throughhole so that the carriage is movable to a position outside the outer cover, and said apparatus further comprises a frame having an opening at a side thereof and extending outward from the outer cover near the throughhole so as to be disposed opposite to the window, and wherein the carriage is movable to a clearing position such that the window is disposed opposite to the opening of the frame when a cleaning mode is selected.
In a multi-functional apparatus having a main frame, an outer cover joined to the main frame, a printhead for printing data on a recordable paper by injecting ink on the recordable paper using nozzles, a scanner for reading a document having data, a carriage on which the printhead and the scanner are disposed, driving means for moving the carriage reciprocally, guiding means mounted so as to traverse the main frame for guiding the carriage, and a window mounted below the scanner;
- the improvement wherein said apparatus further comprises a dusting implement receiving section for receiving a dusting implement to clean the window of the scanner, and the driving means is controlled so that the carriage is positioned by the driving means at a position near the dusting implement receiving section when a cleaning mode is selected.
