HP Photosmart C4270 All-in-One Printer - Manual (Page 70)

Check the estimated ink levels
You can easily check the ink supply level to determine how soon you might need to
replace a print cartridge. The ink supply level shows an estimate of the amount of ink
remaining in the print cartridges.
TIP: You can also print a self-test report to see if your print cartridges might need to
be replaced.
NOTE: The HP All-in-One can only detect the ink levels for genuine HP ink. The ink
levels in print cartridges that are refilled or have been used in other devices, might
not register accurately.
To check the ink levels from the HP Photosmart Software
1. In the HP Solution Center, click Settings, point to Print Settings, and then click
Printer Toolbox.
NOTE: You can also open the Printer Toolbox from the Print Properties dialog
box. In the Print Properties dialog box, click the Services tab, and then click
Service this device.
The Printer Toolbox appears.
2. Click the Estimated Ink Level tab.
The estimated ink levels for the print cartridges appear.

Replace the print cartridges
Follow these instructions when the ink level is low.
NOTE: When the ink level for the print cartridge is low, a message appears on your
computer screen. You can also check the ink levels by using the software installed
with the HP All-in-One.
When you receive a low-ink warning message, make sure you have a replacement print
cartridge available. You should also replace the print cartridges when you see faded text
or if you experience print quality issues related to the print cartridges.
