Turning off spot black (#2) printing

If the spot black (#2) ink cartridge is out of ink, a special Out of Ink warning will appear indicating that
printing mail has been disabled to avoid damage to the system.
You can turn spot black (#2) printing off, and can continue to print mail for 14 days. When the period
expires you will need to reactivate spot black (#2) printing by installing a new ink cartridge.
Note:
If you do not install a new ink cartridge spot black (#2) printing will be disabled permanently. If you
choose to permanently disable spot black (#2) printing, you can continue to print your mail.
However, a customer care representative will need to install a new printing system at a cost to you if
you wish to use spot black (#2) printing in the future.
