Q: QuestionCan it still print in black if the color cartridges are empty?

Asked 1 year ago by JoyB.

• A:Answer The Brother MFCJ1800DW is designed to stop ALL printing operations when any of the ink cartridges have reached their end-of-life. This is to ensure the life of the printhead and to maintain premium print quality. Some ink from all the ink cartridges is used in periodic cleaning cycles. This helps to prevent issues such as printhead clogs and poor print quality. There is no way to bypass this feature. If one or more color ink cartridges are low but not at the end of their usable life and you want to minimize the use of color ink, change the settings in the Brother software to print with black ink only (grayscale). If you print with black ink only, the other ink cartridges must have ink for the printer to print. When an ink cartridge is depleted, you must replace it before you can print. If you print with black ink only, the printer may still use small amounts of ink from all the ink cartridges for occasional servicing tasks. Brother recommends that you replace any low ink cartridges to avoid any interruptions in printing. Below is a link with more information on black and white Print Only.

Accordingly, environmental objectives and targets are an integral part of our business decision-making processes. In an effort to reduce use of natural resources and avoid waste, we have decided to eliminate printed manuals/user guides from many of our products.
