  • This cleaning process or cleaning cycle can be further enhanced by the fact that after the interruption of the ink supply from the filling line 15 and the ink discharge through the return line 24 by a correspondingly applied negative pressure in the return tank 22, the entire ink supply from the feed tank 17 is sucked through the bottom area and through the Printheads 7, possibly even with a higher flow rate, can be washed through. If the feed tank 17 is then emptied, the negative pressure can be applied via the means 32, for example by switching the valve assembly 35, exclusively to the feed tank 17 or a higher pressure in the return tank 22 as in the feed tank 17 are applied.
