Switch Black Ink Type

Your product comes with Matte Black and Photo Black ink cartridges. Although both cartridges must be
installed for your product to work, it can print using only one type of black ink at a time.
You can switch the black ink type, depending on the type of media you load. This process consumes
some ink, so you should avoid switching black ink more often than necessary and select a default black
ink type for the type of media you print on most often.
Note: To enable automatic black ink switching when the black ink type setting in the printer and printer
software are different, press the Menu button and select Printer Setup > Auto Black Ink Change >
Auto.
