If a lot of air has gotten above the inlet, priming the cart is the best way to remove it. Of course, this takes a syringe and modified MIS bottom fill adapter, and it wastes ink. My version of a modified bottom fill adapter is shows at http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/Mod_Bot_Fill.jpg, MIS has another approach. See the bottom of my Readme on the C86, at http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/C86-EZ-UT-Readme.htm , for my suggestions on how to most cheaply use the C86 EZ system.
