Patent ID: 7086716

Claim:
A fluid-ejection assembly comprising: a first array of fluid-ejection mechanisms; a first service station; a second array of fluid-ejection mechanisms; a second service station; a first drive mechanism to move the first array of fluid-ejection mechanisms between a first position and a second position at the first service station to allow the second array of fluid-ejection mechanisms to continue to eject the fluid onto media at a third position without stopping movement of the media and with the first array of fluid-ejection mechanisms at the second position; and, a second drive mechanism to move the second array of fluid-ejection mechanisms between the third position and a fourth position at the second service station to allow the first array of fluid-ejection mechanisms to continue to eject the fluid onto the media at the first position without stopping movement of the media and with the second array of fluid-ejection mechanisms at the fourth position.
