Printing in Black Ink With an Empty Color
Cartridge
If a color ink cartridge runs out of ink and its Ink Out B light
comes on, you can still continue printing with black ink. (If the
black ink cartridge runs out of ink, you cannot continue
printing.) However, you will need to resend any print job you
were printing when the color ink ran out. Follow these steps:
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Wait about five seconds and then turn the printer back on
again. Don’t remove the empty color ink cartridge.
3. If there is paper in the paper path, press the
Load/Eject
button to eject it or to advance continuous paper to the
tear-off edge. Tear off any continuous sheets and press
Load/Eject again to park the continuous paper out of the
path.
4. Access the printer software in your application as described
in Chapter 1. Change the Ink setting for your document to
Black and change any other settings as necessary. Then
print the document.
To switch back to color printing, follow the steps beginning on
page 5-5 to replace the color ink cartridge. Then turn the
printer off and on again to reset color printing mode. Before
you print, be sure to set the Ink setting to
Color in your printer
software as described in Chapters 1 and 2.
Caution:
If you’re printing on
continuous label paper,
don’t press Load/Eject;
this feeds the paper
backward and may cause
labels to tear off inside
the printer. Follow the
steps on page 3-19
instead.
