Prime TUBES
The purpose of this Service Utility is to prime the Tubes when a new
Tubes System has been installed or automatic priming was not
completed.
NOTE If you are using this Service Utility because automatic priming
has failed, you will need to remove the Setup Printheads used
and insert new Setup Printheads.
NOTE Check there is enough ink remaining in the Ink Cartridges
before starting to prime the tubes; if the ink level is LOW or
VERY LOW, replace the Ink Cartridges.

press Enter.
2. The following message will be displayed. Press Enter to confirm.
3. The Printer will begin to startup and in order to continue, press
