Check the estimated ink levels
You can check the estimated ink levels from the printer software. For information about using these
tools, see Printer management tools on page 152. You can also print the Printer Status page to view
this information (see Understand the Printer Status Report on page 81).
NOTE: Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you
receive a low-ink alert, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing
delays. You do not have to replace the cartridges until you are prompted.
NOTE: If you have installed a refilled or remanufactured cartridge, or a cartridge that has been used
in another printer, the ink level indicator might be inaccurate or unavailable.
NOTE: Ink from the cartridges is used in the printing process in a number of different ways,
including in the initialization process, which prepares the printer and cartridges for printing, and in
printhead servicing, which keeps print nozzles clear and ink flowing smoothly. In addition, some
residual ink is left in the cartridge after it is used. For more information, see www.hp.com/go/
