You can set your printer to print in grayscale mode to use only the black ink to produce the text and images on your printouts. To select the grayscale printing option, please follow these steps:


1. Click / Select 'START' from the bottom left of the Windows screen, then select DEVICES AND PRINTERS.

2. Click your right mouse button on the listing for your PIXMA MX920 series printer, then select PRINTING PREFERENCES from the menu that appears.

3. Click on the MAIN tab.

4. Select PLAIN PAPER as the Media Type. If any other paper type is selected, color ink will be used to create the black text that appears on the page, even if the grayscale printing option is selected.

5. Select the checkbox for GRAYSCALE PRINTING near the bottom of the window.

Note: If either 'Borderless Printing' or 'Duplex Printing' are enabled from the Page Setup tab, grayscale will be created using a combination of the color (dye) inks to prevent smearing. In addition, sometimes there is coding embedded in webpages and certain PDF files that tell the printer to print using color ink; in these instances, the printer will produce the black on the page using a combination of the color inks, even if the grayscale option is selected.

6. Click APPLY and then OK to save the changes and close out of the Printing Preferences window. The printer will now only use the pigment black ink tank.

Hope this helps!

Thanks
