Need Help installed print head

I installed a new printhead on my sp 300, this is the second time I have done a printhead install on my own. I couldn't find the old video I used for the first one but found another that walked me through it. Problem is, after restarting - it wants to do this fill ink thing that is wasting all my ink into the drain bottle. I stopped it but everytime I go to restart it asks for the ink type (eco or eco max), asks me to take out cartridges/put them back in and continues to drain my ink. How can I bypass this? The last head I changed didn't do this so I am at a loss. Any help would be appreciated!

nevermind, every time I post on here after struggling hours to figure it out myself, a minute later something pops up and I figure out a fix - lol - somehow in the maintenance mode it had the ink set on unknown. Once I changed that to eco max and restarted the machine it stopped trying to fill the empty bottle with all my ink. Don't know how to just erase my posts so maybe this will help someone in the future!
