4. Insert print cartridges into the print heads and a 350 ml ink cartridge in the bulk ink
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
holding the syringe and
tubing above the regula-
tor, 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, discon-
nect the syringe and plug
the septum fitting into the
print cartridge. Repeat
for each regulator.
