Continue Printing Temporarily with Only Black Ink (for Windows Only)

When color ink is expended but black ink still remains and you are printing from a computer, you can use the following settings to continue printing for a short time using only black ink.

  • Paper type: Plain paper, Envelope

  • Color: Grayscale

  • Borderless: Not selected

  • EPSON Status Monitor 3: Enabled

Because this feature is only available for approximately five days, replace any expended ink cartridge as soon as possible.

Note:

  • 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.
