This purpose of this Service Utility is to prime the Ink Supply Tubes after they have been replaced (or if a situation arises where you need to force the priming procedure).

Prime the tubes as follows:

Once the utility starts, the printer will display the following message on the front panel. If you want to abort the Prime Tubes utility, press Cancel and you will return to the Service Utility menu.

If you press Enter, the following message will be displayed on the Front Panel. You should switch the Printer ON and OFF in order to start the priming process.

When you power On the Printer, the Printer will initialize and then display the following message. You will need to remove the normal Printheads and replace them with Start-up Printheads.
