When color ink is expended and black ink still remains, you can use the following settings to continue printing for a short time using only black ink.
Type of paper: plain papers, Envelope
Color: B&W or Grayscale
Borderless: Not selected
EPSON Status Monitor 3: Enabled (When printing from the printer driver on Windows.)
Because this feature is only available for approximately five days, replace the expended ink cartridge as soon as possible.
If EPSON Status Monitor 3 is disabled, access the printer driver, click Extended Settings on the Maintenance tab, and then select Enable EPSON Status Monitor 3.
The available period varies depending on the usage conditions.
