Re: Flushing Inks In 9000

[kt Chan <ktchan@hk.gin.net>]

You can flush by go to the right side of the machine and put the two small
ink dump tube from the pump and joint a extenuation to it.
Put the end to a bottle through the led with a hole and seal with hot glue.
Buy a suction pump of some kind, I use one from the soldering station, put
the hose into the bottle led through a second hole seal with hot glue.

Take off power plug from machine. Keep the head at the parking position.
Pull the ink cartridge out of the cage,  start the suction pump, the line
will be flush out of any ink. Put the new cartridge in the cage and flush
again new ink will be suck into the lines. Waste ink will be stored in the
bottle.

If you do not want to flush all cartridges at the same time, open the panel
of the ink cartridge compartment and manually stop the ink valve of the
cartridge.
