ABSTRACT:
An ink jet printer with a body with a paper path and a carriage operable to reciprocate across the paper path. The printer body has an ink supply receptacle spaced apart from the carriage, with an ink tube extending between the ink supply receptacle and the carriage. A suction apparatus is connected to the tube and generates a negative pressure in the tube relative to ambient pressure, such that ink may be sucked from the ink supply receptacle to remove at least some of the air from the tube.
