20 Most Recent Brother DCP-135C Flatbed Digital MFC All-In-One InkJet Printer Questions & Answers

It appears that one can purchase the black cartridge separately from the colour cartridges. But your Brother machine is designed to stop ALL printing operations when any of the ink cartridges are empty. In that case you would need to replace all ink cartridges that are empty in order to resume printing.

Refer its user manual for details. It is not practical to type in all the procedure here by this window. Electro help

One of the paper sensor is faulty and cam is jammed.

specific functions only will be given

Several probable causes of this.

1. Your Black is empty and the printer is trying to approximate the Black using the other colours. Check and replace Black.
2. Your Black printhead is blocked and all you are seeing is the other colours that are used to make the black into a full black. Check cartridge and do a printhead clean to see if this clears it. Also print off a print quality test sheet (In the Ink Management options on the printer)
3. Another colour has been put into the Black Slot on your printer. Replace the incorrect cartridge and hope that the printhead has not been damaged by using the wrong cartridge. May need several printhead cleans to clear incorrect ink from the feed lines.

Hope this helps.
