9. Repeat step 8 for all four sets of printheads.
10. Reconnect the air U-tube that was removed in step 7 and reconnect the air tube that was
removed in step 6.
11. From the printer’s control panel, select “Tools | Maintenance | Printheads Procedures | Empty
Heads (Fill with Air)”. Follow the on-screen prompts for the procedure. The procedure uses air
pressure to empty the flush from the heads. The flush drains into the service station tray
located at the user end of the printer.
12. Repeat steps 5-11 until the flush exiting the printheads appears clear and has no remnants of
ink coloration.
TIP: Check the level of waste liquid in the service station tray frequently and empty it as
necessary to avoid an overflow.
13. Repeat step 11 until no more flush can be seen exiting the printheads.
14. Wipe the bottoms of the printheads using a lint-free cloth moistened with printhead flush.
15. Empty the service station tray of accumulated liquid wastes.
The printheads are now prepared for transport. Power down the printer and prepare the carriage.
