Yes, for _scanning_ I think so, see below.

Today Magenta ran out again (the second time since I installed the 
machine on January, 2nd, so after 5 months I have to get the 3rd set of 
color cartridges)... I even cannot print black-and-white any more. No, I 
wouldn't recommend this device for _printing_...

But it's still able to scan. I assume that this would also remain the 
case if more that one cartridge is empty.

I'm currently testing a pile of exactly 50 sheets to scan with the ADF. 
There have been some problems dragging in the first one, but now it 
continues smoothly. Maybe 40 sheets max. is safer to say, but it's 
definitely more than 20, as stated on Brother's web-site.

You're welcome,
