Is it necessary for both black & color cartridges to have ink with HP 1400 Printer/Scanner
I am a user of HP 1400 Printer cum Scanner which provides two slots for
one black and one color cartridge. If the color cartridge has dried up and I am urgently in need of printing out a document in black, can I print in black keeping the exhasted color cartridge in the cradle? Have I to press the Black button on the Printer for starting the print operation? Similarly if the black cartridge has dried up, can I print in color, keeping the exhausted black cartridge in the cradle as a dummy? Have I to press the Color Button on the Printer to start operation? Why doesn't HP provide a Manual of instructions for handling different situations of this type? P. Jayant |

All you really need to do is have a spare cart for each and then you
will not have to worry about it. p jayant wrote: I am a user of HP 1400 Printer cum Scanner which provides two slots for one black and one color cartridge.

Most of the newer HP printers (with integrated cartridges) will print with one or the other of the cartridges removed. The printer will automatically change modes to use the available cartridge. See http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/g...reg_R1002_USEN. The copy function is not available in this mode. Regards, Bob Headrick, MS MVP Printing/Imaging |

Thanks for your information. Does the info apply to printing a document
and NOT sending faxes? I just tried for the heck of it and it did print the document. But I want to know whether it was just a freak occurrence. Or is it technically feasible. P.

But I want to know whether it was just a freak occurrence. Or is it technically feasible. It is not a freak occurrence, it is by design that the printer will work with one or the other of the two cartridges. I do not know if this unit will send faxes without both cartridges, some need both cartridges to send faxes. Regards, Bob Headrick, MS MVP Printing/Imaging |
