A dual-bay ink jet printer is designed to not print unless both bays have cartridges inserted. If you aren't printing color documents, you can leave an empty color cartridge in the color ink bay and the printer will work because all printing (even color) includes the B&W cartridge.
There are two ink cartridges; one for black and one for color. The black ink cartridge will be used for mono color printing (documents) and the color cartridge working in parallel with the black cartridge will produce color images. The black ink cartridge is required when printing colors, so the only time you could use on, would be the black one for black and white images on paper.
