conditioner begins flowing into the effluent bottle, close the shutoff valve and disconnect the
assembly. Repeat this step for all of the tee valves.
8. Connect the effluent bottle to the ink service port (see diagram A), make sure the effluent bottle
shutoff valve is off at this time.
9. At the IJ3000 controller, close the conditioner valve and open the ink valve.
10. Open the shutoff valve at the effluent bottle assembly, this will allow air to flow out of the ink trunk
line. As soon as ink begins flowing into the effluent bottle, close the shutoff valve and disconnect
the assembly.
11. Move the effluent bottle assembly to the first tee valve (5700-509) in the trunk line and connect it.
Open the shutoff valve at the effluent bottle assembly allowing the air to flow out. As soon as ink
begins flowing into the effluent bottle, close the shutoff valve and disconnect the assembly. Repeat
this step for all of the tee valves.
12. Connect each print head regulator to its tee valve.
13. Go to the “Flush Print Heads” screen at the IJ3000 controller and Flush the print heads with ink
(reference section “Flushing the system with ink”). This flushes the conditioner out of the regulator,
regulator ink lines, and the print head.

3. Set the number of required cycles. The number of cycles will vary depending on how many print
heads are connected. Each cycle adds twelve seconds to the total flushing operation. By default
the number of cycles is set to 2 which should be sufficient to flush four 18-dot print heads. The
IJ3000 controller will remember the last number of cycles entered.
4. Press
the

button. A warning dialog box will appear advising of the impending print head purge
at the end of the flushing operation. After pressing
OK
the ink lines are automatically flushed with
ink and all of the print heads are purged. The ink valve will remain open so that normal printing
