Setting of FINE Cartridges
If a FINE Cartridge runs out of ink, you can print with either
Color or Black FINE Cartridge only for a while. However the
same printing quality cannot be expected comparing to
printing with both cartridges.
In this case, you should perform the following settings
without removing the empty cartridge. If the FINE Cartridge is
removed, an error occurs. You cannot print regardless of the
Ink Cartridge Settings.
1. Open the Printer Properties dialog box.
See "Opening the Printer Properties Dialog Box Directly from
the Start Menu"
2. Click the Maintenance tab and then Ink Cartridge
Settings.
3. Select Color only when the cartridge runs out of Black
ink, or select Black only when the cartridge runs out of
Color ink, and then click the OK button.
