Ink Reserve Tank
During a printing operation, the Dell Status monitor displays a window indicating the progress of the print job, the
amount of ink left and the approximate number of pages that still can be printed.
When the level of ink remaining in the cartridges is insufficient and a print job is requested, a
Low ink level
warning
is displayed. This message is displayed for every print operation executed until a new ink cartridge is installed. For
further information on cartridge replacement, see Replacing Ink Cartridges.
When one or both ink cartridges are empty and a print operation is attempted, the
Reserve Tank
window is
displayed. If you continue printing, the print result may not be satisfactory.
If the ink in the black cartridge has run out, you can print using the colour cartridge by selecting
Complete-A-Print
but not clicking on the
Continue printing
button.
If you select
Complete-A-Print
and then click on
Continue printing
, black ink processing will be used for all black
and white printing until the black cartridge is replaced. After replacement, the
Reserve tank
window is no longer
displayed.
When you install a new or different cartridge, the
Complete-A-Print
check box is automatically deselected.
If the ink in the black cartridge has run out, you can print using the colour cartridge (black ink processing) by
selecting
Complete-A-Print
and then clicking on the
Continue printing
button. If you select
Complete-A-Print
and
then click on
Continue printing
, all colour documents are printed in black and white until the colour cartridge is
replaced.
After replacing the cartridge with the low ink level, the
Reserve tank
window is no longer displayed. When a new or
different cartridge is installed, the
Complete-A-Print
check box is automatically deselected.
If a photo cartridge is installed but the ink has run out, printing cannot continue: you must either replace the photo
cartridge or, if one is not available, cancel printing.
