To switch black ink modes, you need the draining
cartridge that came with your printer. This is an empty
ink cartridge that looks similar to a regular 110 ml
cartridge.
After deciding on the black ink mode you want to
switch to, make sure you have the black ink
cartridge(s) you’ll be installing. In some cases, you’ll be
replacing only one of the cartridges.
Since this process consumes ink from the color cartridges as well as the black
ones, you need to make sure there is enough ink in all the cartridges before
you begin. Check the
Ink Out lights on the control panel:
If there is not enough ink in one or more cartridges to carry out the
procedure (5% or less), you’ll need to replace the cartridges. If any cartridges
are low on ink but not low enough to prevent the procedure from being
carried out, you should still make sure you have replacements available, or
you will be limited in how much you can print after switching black ink
modes. See page 142 for ink cartridge part numbers.
