    force the print with cartridge empty

    My IRC 3220 has finished the yellow cartridge and it takes two days to
    receive it.
    Is there a way to have them printed with the warning of a cartridge
    empty?
    Thanks to all of you are always very kind and helpful.

    If the machine is asking for yellow toner its not going to print anything until there is a new cartridge inserted. The answer to your question is ,no

      sorry but SCREWTAPE is right /by the way is the message low toner or replace yellow toner ?? if toner low you can print / if replace > you can not / sorry but your customer needs to keep toner on site/ what about overnight shipping
      ??

          hey I forget that / you'r are right / u can set up 3220 to print black only in add functions

          Press the Auto Color Select Button:
          1. Select Black
          2. Select the Additional Function Button
          3. Select The Copy Settings Button and go to the Second Screen
          4. Press the Standard Settings Button
          5. Select Store ( A message will come up asking you if you wish to store this setting.)
          6. Select "Yes" Store in Memory
          7. Press the Done Button
          8. Press the Done Button again in order to go out of the Additional Function

          *****can't recall or remember how to do it for network prints though

              But this just sets up the machine to default to black from the machine, it still won't bypass the replace toner cartridge message. As what was mention before , if it only says low toner, then yea you got a couple of more prints. I believe if the machine is asking for toner its not going to change its state. Its not going to do anything until the toner has been replaced.

                  Most machines need color toner to turn on and calibrate so running with and empty cartridge is not possible on just about every machine. ALSO, manufacturers make money selling toner so they don't design the color machines run in b/w with an empty cartridge.

                    Where are you located at Alessandro? May be another dealer will trade out a cartridge with you or sell you a toner.
