A mobile telecommunications device is provided which has a printhead, a print media feed path for directing print media past the printhead, a capping mechanism including a capper moveable between a capping position in which it is urged into a capping relationship with the printhead and an uncapped position in which the printhead is able to print onto the print media, and a force transfer mechanism connected to the capper such that a force provided by an edge of the media as it moves on the feed path is transferred to the capper to commence movement of the capper from the capped to the uncapped position prior to the media reaching the capper. In the uncapped position, the capper is displaced away from the printhead and is held in the uncapped position by the media such that it moves to the capped position upon disengagement with the media.
