Problems solved by technology

Therefore, when printing black document materials in the normal mode, expensive color toner is also consumed, thereby increasing the printing cost. Moreover, since each toner cartridge is involved in the printing process, a single toner cartridge accommodates When the toner in the printer is used up, the color printer will not work normally, but the toner cartridge can only be replaced
When using the second mode to print black documents, through the built-in software of the color printer, the color toner cartridge does not work when it is set to print black documents, but when printing in this mode, compared with ordinary black printers, the color toner cartridge does not work. The toner consumption of black toner in the printer is very large, so the printing cost is also high, and the black toner will be consumed quickly and a new toner cartridge has to be replaced
If the color toner cartridge is left unused for a long time, it may cause the color toner to exceed the validity period, resulting in waste of resources and indirectly increasing the printing cost
[0004] It can be seen from the above that the printing cost of printing black documents is higher when using these two printing modes. If another black printer is purchased to reduce printing costs, the purchased color printer will be completely discarded, which will also cause waste of resources.

[0017] When printing with the method of this embodiment, it is first necessary to observe whether the toner cartridge needs to be refitted so that the toner outlet of the toner cartridge is in a closed state. In an existing toner cartridge that can also be called a developing cartridge, it includes a developing roller arranged at the opening of the developing cartridge, and the carbon powder stored in the developing cartridge is supplied to the developing roller through the powder outlet. Seal the powder outlet by sticking a film, installing a detachable baffle or other methods, and the film or baffle can be removed manually or by a color printer when the toner cartridge is about to work. There is also a toner cartridge with a gate at the powder outlet. After the toner cartridge is installed in the color printer, the gate will cooperate with the components in the color printer to open the powder outlet. Put a film on it or modify the color printer so that only the toner outlet...

[0023] When printing with the method of this embodiment, the toner cartridge can be refitted so that the powder outlet of the toner cartridge is in a closed state. As refitting, the same method as that of the first embodiment can be used. It is also unnecessary to refit the powder outlet. After the toner cartridge is installed in the color printer, the powder outlet is in a normally open state.

[0024] Then, if figure 2 As shown, go to step 21, fill all the toner cartridges with black toner, that is, put black toner in the black toner cartridge or the red, yellow and blue color toner cartridges. Then go to step 22, install the toner cartridge to the corresponding position, that is, install the black toner cartridge to the position where the black toner cartridge is installed in the color printer, and install each color toner cartridge to the corresponding position of each color toner cartridge . Then proceed to step 23 to open the toner outlet of the black toner cartridge...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for realizing low-cost printing by using a color printer. The method comprises the steps of filling black carbon powder in all toner cartridges, installing the toner cartridges at positions corresponding to toner cartridges with corresponding colors in the color printer; during printing, enabling the toner cartridge corresponding to a black position to work and toner cartridges corresponding to other color positions to rest, after carbon powder held in the toner cartridge corresponding to the black position is used up, sending an alarm signal by the color printer; and receiving the alarm signal by the toner cartridges corresponding to the other color positions, sequentially starting to work, and after the carbon powder held in each toner cartridge is used up, sending corresponding alarm signals by the color printer to inform the next toner cartridge of working. According to the method, the low-cost printing of the color printer can be realized, and the phenomenon that the color printer can not normally work when the carbon powder held in one toner cartridge is used up can be avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of electrophotographic imaging, in particular to a method for realizing low-cost printing by using a color printer. Background technique [0002] With the development of electrophotographic imaging technology, color printers are widely popularized. With a color printer, it can print out vivid color images. In this kind of color printer, a black toner cartridge containing black toner and a color toner cartridge containing red, yellow, blue and other color toners are generally installed. The cost of black toner is much higher than that of black toner, so the price of color toner cartridges is high compared to black toner cartridges. Most of the customers who have purchased a color printer will find that in the actual commercial process, they generally do not print color images, and printing only with black toner can fully meet the daily work requirements. [0003] When printing black documents, existing color printer...
