3.3.3 Refill Ink Tubes
Description
CAUTION: This procedure must only be performed after performing the Recover Broken Bag procedure or
after replacing a Floater and PIP assembly.
The procedures and menu selections must always be performed if a broken bag has been detected by the
printer. In this procedure the printer forces ink from the ink tube that had the broken bag, removing air
bubbles, into a syringe.
Procedure
1. Remove all the dummy Ink Cartridges and install the normal Ink Cartridges.
It is important that the Ink Cartridge with the broken bag, is discarded and replaced with a new Ink
Cartridge. DO NOT reinstall the Ink Cartridge with the broken bag.
2. Go to Diagnostic test > 3. Ink System Menu > 3.3 Broken Bag Recovery Menu > 3.3.3 Refill Ink Tubes, and
press OK.
3. The front panel will display the various electrical subsystems being initialized in order to perform the
procedure. If there is a failure at this point the front panel will display a system error; troubleshoot the
system error using
System error codes on page 65.
4. The front panel asks you to select the color of the Ink Cartridge that had the broken bag, and press OK.
5. The front panel asks whether there is air in the ink tubes.
