Can I print in black and white if I am out of the color toners?

[MichelleLM]

I have plenty of black toner, but don't have time to run into town.  I keep getting an error message and it won't let me print.  I wasn't sure if it was a toner issue or something else.

Yes, you should be able to. Follow these instructions taken from the User's Manual:

Change the “Very Low” settings
You can change the way the printer reacts when supplies reach the Very Low state. You do not have to reestablish these settings when you install a new toner cartridge.
1. From the Home screen on the printer control panel, swipe until the Setup menu displays. Touch the Setup icon to open the menu.

2. Open the following menus:

● System Setup

● Supply Settings

● Black Cartridge or Color Cartridges

● Very Low Setting

3. Select one of the following options:

● Select the Continue option to set the printer to alert you that the toner cartridge is very low, but to continue printing.

● Select the Stop option to set the printer to stop printing until you replace the toner cartridge.

● Select the Prompt option to set the printer to stop printing and prompt you to replace the toner cartridge. You can acknowledge the prompt and continue printing. A customer configurable option on this printer is "Prompt to Remind Me in 100 pages, 200 pages, 300 pages, 400 pages, or never." This option is provided as a customer convenience and is not an indication these pages will have acceptable print quality.
