    refer to your service manual for the process.

            Thank you so much. As many times as I have used sim 14, I would have never thought it would work. but it did

              To be quite honest I have never seen the option to disable color......have never looked either.

              The setting does not appear on all color machines. Does not show up on newer 70's &71s, nor does it show on the older 5001s

              Seems like it may have been a short lived idea.

                Most color restrictions are done under the authority group.
                Where the heck is my spring hook?

                  This was not a restriction....it is a complete disable of color.

                    How do you enable it?? I didn't even know this was possible but it would be useful if there was an issue with colour somewhere

                      Read the thread, all info there....


                      "system settings">"enable/disable"

                      Once color is disabled, the setting vanishes from "enable/disable"

                      To re enable color SIM 14


                      This option does not appear on all sharp color boxes.

                      I'm wondering if it would work in a "OUT OF YELLOW" toner scenerio.

                        I looked at a 3610 and did not see it I also looked at sim 14 in manual and did not see it there. Is this just some markets?

                          This setting shows up in the MX2310 op manual.....MX2615 op manual....MX2616....MXxx40, MX5141 etc.

                          Apparently its been around for past few generations of color....Wonder if it works for "Down for color toner" scenerio?

                          Seems to have disappeared with the xx70's and beyond. Seems like a great troubleshooting tool as well as a way to "get them by"
