nozzle to remove any excess ink from the printhead that you purged.
5.
Close the maintenance station door.
6.
In the ink bay reconnect the ink bag coupler of the target ink bag to re-initiate ink fill.
7.
Place a lint-free cloth below the bleed tube of the target ink filter to catch any ink.
8. Turn the valve shutoff lever so that it is parallel to the bleed tube to open the valve.
9.
Keep the cloth close as you watch the open bleed tube. As soon as you see ink appear in
the open end of the bleed tube, flip the shutoff lever back to the perpendicular closed
position (this may take a few minutes, depending on the amount of air in the filter since
the ink pump is only active for a brief period every 5 seconds). Ignore the residual ink
that is already in the bleed tube.
