Purging ink delivery lines

If you are using one set of ink lines for several ink types, you must purge the
ink lines and rinse them with distilled water thoroughly before changing to a
new ink type. You will then have to re-prime the lines as described (see
'Priming the ink delivery lines' on page 27).
To purge ink delivery lines
Remove all four cartridges before purging the ink lines.
1
Disconnect the ink delivery lines from the ink reservoirs. Carefully wipe any

excess ink from each connector using a paper towel before proceeding.
Insert the tube that was in the cartridge into a container of distilled water.

Connect the Océ Prime tool to a connector at the ink reservoir and turn it on

until ink stops flowing into the collection bottle.
