Ricoh MP C3300, Can it be used with empty colour toners and only use black?

Hi all, Can the MP C3300 be used as a mono machine temporary with empty colour toners? Awaiting a magenta toner pump that's all and they need to print in mono but the machine is requesting a new magenta!

On previous models ie 2500 you could turn off toner detection as a temporary measure, code 3045, not sure if it works on 3300.
Will allow limited colour and black prints.

Actually, you can use the machine in black and white only. I had a toner pump conk out for magenta and while the machine will ask for toner for magenta if you send a color print job or try to make a color copy from the panel, you can do strictly black and white.
