Conserving Low Black Ink with Windows

When black ink runs low and there is more color ink, you may see a message telling you that you can
print with a mixture of color inks to create composite black.
Note: The window appears only when you have selected Plain Paper/Bright White Paper as the paper
type setting, and depends on other selected print settings. To use this feature, Epson Status Monitor
must be enabled.
• Click Yes to use a mixture of color inks to create black, or No to continue using the remaining black ink
for the document you are printing.
• Click Disable this feature to continue using the remaining black ink.
Note: If you disable this feature, it remains disabled until you replace the black ink pack.

reinstall the maintenance box.
