cap station not holding fluid...

[ABBOTARTDEPT]

When i disway and nozzlewash (or try to) the black cap station wont hold the fluid. it will just empty out without the pump working. the other 3 caps work fine. anyone ever experience this?

usually a key indicator that a new pump is needed.......pump is weak or not fuctioning often....

or a broken tube...

Check the pump manually, when turning it forwards, it seals, turning it backwards opens it. If only the black- it's probably bad, as 2 heads / pump.

check the tubes, and to see if your machine has filled up with ink inside the cover

Most likely cause is pump failure. Not a total failure, but it no longer 'pinches' the tube closed when in the 'nozzle wash mode'.
New pump will fix this. If you replace one pump, you may want to go ahead and replace the other.
