How to Change Black Ink to Color on a Dell 940 Printer

Changing Black ink to color on ANY printer usually involves the operating system of the computer that the printer is tied to. This would include most of the major operating systems that are out in the marketplace. I will be discussing the Windows operating system enviroment (any flavor i.e Win 95 through Win XP)

1. The first step is to get into your computers' control panel, go to the start button on the desk top as well as click it, then go to settings as well as click on it as well as control panel as well as click on that.
2. Once your in control panel you'll see the printers as well as faxes icon you'll click on that.
3. You'll then right-click on the icon for your printer (i.e the printers' name as well as model) as well as go to properties selection which will bring you to the property sheet.
4. After that you see (depending on the OS) a number of tabs for that particular printer, usually it will be labeled setup,color management,etc, you'll select this.
5. The final steps are to select the color radio button instead of the black button as well as to finally close out all the windows of control panel to get back to the desktop.
6. Now your printer will be printing in color.

• If the printer icon is installed on your desktop then you can just right-click it as well as get to the printers' property sheet much faster, maybe in the future you'd like to make a shortcut to it if you do not have it on the desktop,it makes for easier management of that printer.

• Be careful NOT to delete your printer by accident, by doing so you'll have to reload the driver for the printer as well as redo everything for it!
