My black laser cartridge is low. Does this mean that when I print Black it using up my color cartridges ? I just want it to keep printing using the black cartridge and when it really runs out replace it. How does it work ?

Hi @laser_user,

 

It will continue to print black from the black cartridge, but you may experience quality issues. When you would not be satisfied with the print quality or when the black cartridge will be emptied then you will have to replace that cartridge.

 

I hope that helps.

 

Cheers!
