  • A closure for a printhead of the print engine, the closure being displaceale between a closure for a printhead of the print engine, the closure being displaceable between a capped position in which the printhead is capped and an uncapped position in which the printhead is uncapped;

    a resilient member which acts on the closure for displacing the closure; and

    a displaceable body which co-operates with said resilient member such that, when the body is in a parked position, the body engages the resilient member and urges the closure toward the capped position and, when the body is out of its parked position, the closure is urged by the resilient member to the uncapped position.
