After the 'low ink' warning you can continue till it tells you the ink is out. If you are printing a large picture you could wind up with a half picture minus a color. I always go to the 'out' signal.

No and Yes. NO YOU CANNOT print if it is the Black cartridge. The printer prevents all printing if the Black cartridge signals empty. In truth, there is plenty of ink left to use. It's a serious problem and was the subject of a lawsuit which Epson settled in the USA. The PRINTER WILL ALLOW you to continue if one of the COLOR cartridges is out.

My experience is when it runs out completely of any ink color it stops working but not before if black has not yet run out the printer will, sometimes, ask you if you want to print in just black. If it says low, be sure to have more ready of the same color. Otherwise this is an excellent small printer.

Not that I am aware of, it tells the cartridge and the printer that the cartridge is full of ink. The printer then deducts the amount used during print jobs until it hits zero and give you a warning that you need new ink.

No. The printer requires that all cartridges be in place to operate; otherwise, you get an error message. And the printer's technology can tell exactly which color cartridge is missing.

The printer will inform you when the ink is low. At this time you should order ink soon.

-no. it just gives you extra length usage. a bit more ink. also when it shows low, take it out & shake it. you get more usage.-

I believe that can be done in the "Settings" window. I got rid of this printer a couple of months ago. It uses ink faster than any other printer I've owned. Very disappointed in it. I was going through black cartridges in about 3 weeks printing nothing but receipts for paid monthly bills. Switched to a Brother laser printer when my wife started working from home.

Yes. It'll keep printing until the ink cartridge is completely empty. For example, if the black cartridge runs out, you'll eventually get a blank page as you continue to use the printer.

Yes, according to all the sellers on the certain huge online auction site not-to-be-named. But, you have to keep in mind that the chip and printer will forever remember each other and the printer will continue to give you a pop up stating your ink is low, when in fact you just filled it. The ink level is a guesstimate and not an actual level indicator. You can buy off-brand cartridges and put the old chip on them, but they will show as empty. You have to force the driver to accept that you wish to keep using the "empty" tanks. It works, it's just annoying.

The unit will let you know when the ink levels are low. A message will appear on-screen showing the ink levels and letting you know that you will need to replace which one of them soon.

Not without manually reloading the paper after the first side print. I also experience regular wifi drop outs where I have to not just turn off but also unplug the printer to get it to respond to print or scan.

While I have not yet tried this scenario, I have the feeling that it will scan when ink is low or empty. It printed with an empty cartridge. It might be different without the cartridge installed, empty or not.

Unfortunately it is a default settings from all printers. It should help if you push reset then start, if it stops printing mid work.

Ruth, I have seen this problem in the past with other printers, so it would not have been an issue for me this time HAD it happened. I am pleased to say that NO ink error messages have occurred after purchasing and installing this! I hope you are as fortunate should you purchase it.

The printer should be turned off for 30 seconds or so, so the 'mind' of the printer will recognize the new cartridge. It if still stays on, look at the counter wheel of the cartridge and see if the pointer is pointing to the '1' imprinted on the wheel or to the '2'. It should be pointed to the '1'. The '2' indicates the cartridge should be low on toner.

No, like most other inkjet printers, the printer will stop printing when one or more of the ink cartridges run out.

The ink cartridges that come with the printer do not seem to be fully filled and do not last long. You will want to buy new cartridges soon.I was able to use re-manufactured cartridges. You just have to press and hold the red Stop button for about 5 seconds after the alert light comes up showing that a newly installed cartridge is out of ink. Do not cancel the print job. When the light goes out, continue printing as you normally would. The LCD panel will show it can not determine the ink level of the cartridge, but it will print just fine.

You can set the default setting to just use black ink. You can even put security settings that only certain people can use the color ink.
