Selecting The Correct Ink Cartridges - Epson Stylus Color 500 User Manual

When the color ink cartridge is empty, you can continue
printing with the black ink cartridge by switching to
monochrome mode. To do this, turn the printer off, then back
on. Then resend your data.
Note:
Even though you use the printer in the monochrome printing mode,
the empty color ink cartridge must be installed.
To switch back to color printing, you must install the color ink
cartridge as described in this chapter, and then turn your
printer off and back on again. Any data sent to the printer will
be lost, and you will have to resend it.
If the black ink cartridge is empty, you cannot continue
printing, even if the color cartridge still contains ink.
