Hello rhoshron.

So we can assist you with adjusting the settings, please tell us what version of Windows or Mac OSX is on your computer.  Once we have this information we will be able to assist you further.

Hi rhoshron,

To set the printer to print using only the black ink cartridge, please follow these steps:

1.  Select INK CARTRIDGE SETTINGS from the pop-up menu on the Canon IJ Printer Utility.

2.  Select the BLACK ONLY option, then click Apply.

3.  Click OK when the confirmation message appears.  The specified FINE cartridge will be used from the next printing.

Please note:

When the following settings are specified, Black Only does not function because the machine uses the color FINE cartridge to print documents:

-- A paper type other than Plain Paper, Envelope, Hagaki A, or Hagaki is selected from the Media Type of the Quality & Media on the pop-up menu in the Print dialog.

-- "XXX (borderless)" is selected from the Paper Size pop-up menu in the Print dialog.

Do not detach the FINE cartridge that is not in use. Printing cannot be performed while either FINE cartridge is detached.

Hope this helps!
