In an inkjet printer having a small print head assembly and a large print head assembly, a wiper includes a first wiper section having a width approximately equal to a width of an orifice area of the small print head assembly, a decoupler adjacent to the first wiper section, a second wiper section adjacent to the decoupler, where the first and the second wiper sections and the decoupler combined have a width approximately equal to a width of an orifice area of the large print head assembly, and a squared tip at an extremity of the single, segmented wiper to impede wicking action. A tab holds the wiper oriented so as to wipe the print head assemblies in a direction of a printing operation. |

1. A device for use with an inkjet printer, comprising:
a single, segmented wiper, comprising:
a first wiper section having a width approximately equal to a width of an orifice area of a first print head assembly,a decoupler adjacent to the first wiper section,a second wiper section adjacent to the decoupler, such that a wiping action by the first wiper section is decoupled from the second wiper section, anda tab holding the wiper oriented in a wiping direction,wherein the first wiper section includes a first wiper tip having a first continuous wiper blade edge extended from a first lateral edge of the single, segmented wiper to the decoupler and the second wiper section includes a second wiper tip having a second continuous wiper blade edge extended from the decoupler to a second lateral edge of the single, segmented wiper, wherein the first and the second wiper sections, and the decoupler, have a combined width approximately equal to a width of an orifice area of a second print head assembly wider than the first print head assembly, and wherein the first wiper section is to wipe the orifice area of the first print head assembly, and wherein the first wiper section combined with the second wiper section is to wipe the orifice area of the second print head assembly. |
