Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding Air in Ink Tube Connecting to Printhead! 

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.  

Air in the ink tube connecting to the printhead can prevent ink from being delivered properly, causing printing issues such as no color output. Here is a step-by-step guide to address this problem:

Wait for the Printer to Stop Printing

• Ensure that the printer is idle and all printing processes are completed.

Access the Printhead Carriage

• From the printer’s ready screen, press the Online/Offline button to move the printhead carriage out of the service station.

Open the Printer's Top Cover

• Open the top cover to gain access to the printhead carriage.

Open the Carriage Cover

• Undo the carriage cover to expose the printhead.

Remove the Printhead

• Lift the printhead straight up using its handle and disconnect it from the printhead carriage.

Disconnect Ink Tube from Printhead

• Disconnect the ink tube from its clips and connector, ensuring the number label matches the slot in the plastic holder assembly.

Insert the Printhead into a Purge Clip

• Hold the printhead so its jet orifice plate faces up. Insert the printhead into a purge clip.

Connect Ink Tube to Printhead

• Connect the ink tube from the ink reservoir to the ink inlet on the printhead.

Purge the Air

• Gently press and hold the purge bulb for a few seconds, allowing air bubbles or foam to escape. Ensure that the hole on the end of the purge bulb is covered by your finger during this step.
• Blot the ink with a paper towel but do not wipe it, as wiping could clog the ink jets.  

Hope this helps! 

Take care, and have an amazing day!
