# Setting the Ink Cartridge

When printing, you can specify the ink cartridge you use.
If one of the ink cartridges becomes empty, you can continue printing by specifying the ink cartridge that still has ink.

The procedure for specifying the ink cartridge is as follows:

## Ink Cartridge Settings

1. Open the printer driver setup window

2. Click Ink Cartridge Settings on the Maintenance tab

   The Ink Cartridge Settings dialog box appears.

3. Select the ink cartridge to be used

   Select the ink cartridge to be used for printing and click OK.
   The specified ink cartridge will be used from the next printing.

Important

- When the following settings are configured, Black Only is disabled. The color ink cartridge is also used to print.

  - A media type other than Plain Paper, Hagaki, or Envelope is selected for Media Type on the Main tab.

  - Borderless Printing is checked on the Page Setup tab.

- Canon recommends that you use the ink cartridges installed in the printer and not remove them until the ink runs out.
