If an ink cartridge is expended, you see a message on your printer’s LCD screen; you must replace it to be able to print, copy, or scan.
Note:
You cannot copy, scan, or print when an ink cartridge is expended even if the other cartridges are not expended. Replace any expended cartridges before copying, scanning, or printing.
With Windows, when black ink is low and there is more color ink than black ink, you will see a message when your print from your computer. You can select to save black ink by using a mixture of colors to create black. The message only appears if you select Plain Paper/Bright White Paper as the paper Type and Text as the Quality Option setting.
