supply.
5. Bleeding air out of the ink lines:
a) At the ink service port of the trunk line, depress the valve
of the fitting in short spurts into a rag or trash can. Con-
tinue this until all air has been bled out of the main trunk
line.
b) Connect the syringe
(2466-166, supplied with
the bulk ink system) to the
septum fitting. While hold-
ing the syringe and tubing
above the regulator,
slowly draw the air out of
the ink line. Once all of
the air is out of the ink line
and a small amount of ink
is drawn into the syringe,
disconnect the syringe
and plug the septum fitting
into the print cartridge.
Repeat for each regulator.
