Print when a print cartridge is at estimated end of life
Supply-related notifications are communicated on the product control panel.
A <Supply> Low message—where <Supply> is the color print cartridge: The product indicates when
a supply level is low. Actual cartridge life remaining may vary. Consider having a replacement
available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable. The supply does not need to be
replaced now.
A <Supply> Very Low message. The product indicates when a supply level is very low. Actual
cartridge life remaining may vary. Consider having a replacement available to install when print
quality is no longer acceptable. The supply does not need to be replaced now unless the print quality
is no longer acceptable. Once an HP supply has reached very low, HP’s premium Protection
Warranty on that supply has ended.
Print-quality problems can occur when using a print cartridge that is at its estimated end of life. The
supply does not need to be replaced at this point in time unless the print quality is no longer
acceptable.
NOTE: Using the Continue setting allows printing beyond Very Low without customer interaction
and can result in unsatisfactory print quality.
