ink saver mode does what?

It saves ink by printing the colors lighter and emphasizes the outlines of the images.

I have no idea. I've HATED this printer from the get go. Ink should last for a ream of paper but does not.

On my printer I can refill and reset the original cartridges. I found that, when you get a message for empty cartridge you press and hold the stop button (not the on and off switch) for about 10 seconds.

I don't really know, but if it were my printer, I would unplug it and see if it would reset itself. If not, re-install the computer with the disc. I use mine a lot with eBay and use cheap ink, cheap paper and it does a decent job. For real quality, I use another printer. This printer seems to be a faithful work horse.

Yes, I have the same issue and the only way I've found to correct this is to turn my printer off/on. The only thing I can figure is that Printer companies aren't really in the business of selling printers - they make the bulk of their money selling ink. With this in mind, I believe they have installed a subroutine which counts the copies made and when the cartridge should have expired this pop-up appears. I use my printer often making color photo prints and it appears to be on a regular cycle. I've not yet figured out a way to by-pass or disable this. Sorry I can't be more helpful but even with this inconvenience the bulk ink system has saved me a lot of money.

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.

I don't know, but you can continue to print even if the printer thinks your cartridge is empty. Just rapidly press the button 7 times in a row, and you will see the LEDs light up. This puts it into a mode that prints no matter what, regardless of toner remaining.

I recommend buying Preton ink saver software. My cartridges last 2-3 longer then before.

Works great on my cannon. Great way to save. A bit messy to re-fill the ink cartridges, but excellent quality print on plain paper. Have not tried it on photo quality paper.

I only use the converter. The company should be able to tell you which ink cartridge to use.

there is a microchip embedded in the ink cartridge; your printer reads it to show ink levels. You don't 'do' anything with it, it is already installed into cartridges.

No, turning it off will use more ink. The printer will go through a cleaning cycle every time you turn it on, and a lot of ink is used up with each cleaning cycle.

When any ink is out ALL printing functions stop. It will still scan and fax, though.

Most times when mine does that I just hit the little green button and tell it it's fine and it goes on printing. It is irritating though. I have also noticed that this unit as opposed to my former 7310, will stop printing when the ink is low even though there is still ink in the module. I found that if you pull the offending ink cartridge out about an inch and re-insert it will continue printing until you really run out of ink.

My saving grace is continuous ink cartridges. They hold a couple months worth of ink and saves me hundreds of dollars. Good luck
