Maintenance apparatus of an inkjet printer and wiper-positioning method therefor

摘要

A maintenance apparatus of an inkjet printer includes a control unit to control a drive motor for a wiping member convey unit to be in contact with a stopper two or more times in order to prevent a wiping member and a wiper disposed therein from being erroneously positioned due to an abnormal repulsive force occurring in the wiping member convey unit when the wiping member convey unit comes in contact with the stopper, due to outer impact and changes in load of the motor. The wiper-positioning method includes a first contact operation of driving the motor for the wiping member convey device to come in contact with the stopper, and a re-contact operation of controlling the motor for the wiping member convey unit to be in contact with the stopper one or more times again.
