Printhead Procedures The printer uses air pressure to both fill and evacuate ink and printhead flush from the printheads. The following functions are available from the menu at Tools > Maintenance > Printhead Procedures: • Load Ink In All Heads - when installing ink for the first time, or when restarting the printer after an extended power down period, this function fills the empty printheads with ink. • Fill Heads with Ink - fills the printheads with ink, one color at a time. Should only be done with empty printheads. • Empty Heads (Fill With Air) - empties all printheads by using air pressure. As you perform Printhead Procedures from the menu, monitor the ink level in the drip tray under the carriage. Remove the tray and drain the ink into a container occasionally to prevent overflows. Since this mixture of ink and printhead flush will not cure, dispose of it according to the instructions in the Material Safety Data Sheets for the ink and printhead flush. 6-24 Printhead Procedures
