The yellow in your color cartridge is probably empty. Run a test sheet through to see what colors print. Or just change your cartridge.
no it is designed so it will not print without color cartridge having ink in it
Each color cartridge has 3 small tanks of different colored ink. If the cartridge is the same size as the black cartridge, each color tank is 1/3 the size of the tank in the black cartridge. If you do not NEED a color copy, when you print, select properties, and check "print in greyscale" or "Black and white". You will get a black and white copy and save your color ink.
Yes, you could, provided you are not using the color cartridges. I assume you are filling the color cartridges with black ink to fool the printer you have refilled the colors
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.
what should i do?
Many of the newer all-in-one products can print in "Reserve Mode" with one cartridge if a cartridge is empty or will not print.
can the mfc-255cw printer, print in black only with just a black cartridge?
Go on the maker's website and you should find a solution there. It could be that the black ink cartridge is empty, or the jet is blocked. If not empty, try cleaning the print-head - see the maker's website for instructions.
You have a basic black inkjet cartridge and then a tri-color inkjet cartridge. I think the colors are blue yellow and red, but I am not really that sure.
The cost of a RealJet ink cartridge depends upon the kind of cartridge needed, the amount purchased at once, and the color content of the cartridge. Print quantity is also determined by a number of factors. You can adjust the print settings to black and white, color, good, fair, or great quality and all of these will determine how much use you will get out of a single cartridge of ink.
