You can manually flush out the old inks if you want. 

 

Put in cartridges with cleaner and hook hoses to the "air intake" port on the cartridges. You can do a few at a time or all. 

 

I do it with the printer off and unplugged in-case of spill. You remove the damper ASSY and disconnect hose before going into the dampers( will spill ink everywhere). 

 

Now, just have pump push air into the cartridges, or liquid, and it will come out of the hoses until clean. Once done, replace all dampers. Now you have full cleaned out system. 

 

You can also just run the Admin clean/flush on the main menu of the printer.

i looked for the admin clean or administration menu, but unfortunately 4900 doesn't have this feature

On the P5000 2 admin cleans ( power cleans) are enough. I don’t have a 4900, so I’m not sure.
