Ink Supply Station

The purpose of this test is to verify the operation of the Ink Supply Station. A failure of the out-of-ink sensors or the springs in the Ink Supply Station will eventually damage the Printheads because the Printer will try to pump ink from an empty Ink Cartridge stall, which will cause the Printhead to dry-fire.
