HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M476 series - Manual (Page 100)

A “Cartridge is low” or “Cartridge is very low” message displays
on the product control panel
Cartridge is low: The product indicates when a toner cartridge level is low. Actual toner cartridge life
remaining may vary. Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer
acceptable. The toner cartridge does not need to be replaced now.
Cartridge is very low: The product indicates when the toner cartridge level is very low. Actual toner cartridge
life remaining may vary. Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer
acceptable. The toner cartridge does not need to be replaced now unless the print quality is no longer
acceptable.
Once an HP toner cartridge has reached Very Low, HP’s Premium Protection Warranty on that toner cartridge
has ended.
Change the “Very Low” settings
You can change the way the product reacts when supplies reach the Very Low state. You do not have to re-
establish these settings when you install a new toner cartridge.
1. From the Home screen on the product control panel, touch the Setup button.
2. Open the following menus:
● System Setup
● Supply Settings
● Black Cartridge or Color Cartridges
● Very Low Setting
3. Select one of the following options:
● Select the Continue option to set the product to alert you that the toner cartridge is very low, but
to continue printing.
● Select the Stop option to set the product to stop printing until you replace the toner cartridge.
● Select the Prompt option to set the product to stop printing and prompt you to replace the toner
cartridge. You can acknowledge the prompt and continue printing. A customer configurable option
on this product is "Prompt to Remind Me in 100 pages, 200 pages, 300 pages, 400 pages, or
never." This option is provided as a customer convenience and is not an indication these pages will
have acceptable print quality.
For products with fax capability
When the product is set to the Stop or Prompt option, there is some risk that faxes will not print when the
product resumes printing. This can occur if the product has received more faxes than the memory can hold
while the product is waiting.
The product can print faxes without interruption when it passes the Very Low threshold if you select the
Continue option for the toner cartridge, but print quality might degrade.
