Dell Ink Management System

Each time you print a job, a printing progress screen appears, which shows the progress of the print job as well as the
amount of ink remaining and the approximate number of pages remaining in the cartridge. The page counter is hidden during
the first 50 pages of cartridge use, until printing habits are learned and a more accurate count can be given. The number of
pages remaining changes as a result of the type of print jobs the printer completes.
When your ink cartridge levels are low, a Low Ink Warning appears on your screen when you try to print. This warning is
displayed every time you print until you install a new ink cartridge. For more information, see
When one or both of your ink cartridges are empty, the Reserve Tank window appears on your screen when you try to print.
If you continue printing, the print job may not print as you expect.
If your black ink cartridge is out of ink, you can choose to print black from the color ink cartridge (Process Black) by selecting
Complete-A-Print before clicking the Continue Printing button. If you select Complete-A-Print and click Continue
Printing, Process Black is used for all black printing until the black cartridge is replaced, or the option is cleared from More
Options, located on the Advanced tab of the Printing Preferences. The Reserve Tank dialog does not display again until
after the low ink cartridge has been replaced. The Complete-A-Print check box is automatically reset when a new or
different cartridge is installed.
If your color ink cartridge is out of ink, you can choose to print color documents in grayscale by selecting Complete-A-Print
before clicking the Continue Printing button. If you select Complete-A-Print, and click Continue Printing, all color
documents will print in black and white until the color cartridge is replaced or the option is cleared from More Options,
