CFS question - Vacuum Question!!! (I've read all the FAQ's)

2003-10-16 by freegrad

Hi,

I'm wondering if you need to maintain the vacuum in the tubing lines 
after filling the CFS carts (after the ink 'surges' to the carts and 
the ink tube is 'at least 1" in the bottle'). I understand that I 
let the sponges soak up the ink overnight, but then I'm instructed 
to put the caps (with the tube and vent holes) on the bottles... Am 
I supposed to somehow maintain the vacuum while:

1. pulling the tube out of the bottle, 
2. capping the bottle with the drilled cap, 
3. cutting the excess slack out of the lines, 
4. marking the tubes at 3 3/4", and 
5. inserting the tubes through the caps and into the bottles?

If so, how? I've read everything I could find and it's probably so 
obvious that no one felt it meritted mention. I called tech support, 
but I wanted to get started tonight (printing tommorrow!!! =)

details: 1160 MIS CFS with UT inks

Thank you so much for your help - this will be my first (hopefully) 
working CFS...
