Do you have a VJ1204 Service Manual? If not, just ask and I'm sure someone here will get one to you. That's a good place to start your adventure.

Your magenta subtank is very low. To fill it go into the maintenance menu (power on and as soon as you see the printer model appear on the screen push the up, right and down keys simultaneously until you get into what some people call the "hidden menu"). One of your options will be named "Ink Charge." Under this you have two options: "little" or "normal." I would just did a "little" charge first. If you have already installed your new printhead then this will get ink through all the channels and nozzles on the head. Hope this helps.

5-10 minutes max. If it takes longer and you don't hear the maintenance station working then either one or more of the other subtanks are completely full.

There is a trick to filling only one of the subtanks. Turn the printer off and restart and go into the maintenance menu (when you see the printer model appear on the screen, hold down the up, right and down arrow keys simultaneously until in the maintenance menu. Go to the "ExControl" option and hit enter. From this menu go to the "Sensor" menu. Under this you will have three options: Tanks Status, TankValveCheck and Etc. To check to make sure all the ink valves are working properly...go to Tank Status and cycle through all four valves. They should all read: "H/L/V: Off/On/Off." If one is not then you have a bad ink valve. If they are all good then go back to the Sensor Menu and hit enter. Go to the TankValveCheck and go to the 3rd valve (Magenta) and hit "enter." You should hear a faint clicking sound from below the ink cartridge well. This is the valve for magenta ink. What you are doing is turning the valve on and allowing ink to flow into the subtank. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Hit cancel and then restart the printer.

You shouldn't get the subtanklo error now. I have had the ink valves go bad on me multiple times between 5 Mutoh printers over the last 4 years and they can cause all sorts of issues.
