service or repairs required as a result of using a non-HP supply will not be covered

Solution 4: Check the print catridges
Solution: Check the estimated ink levels in the print cartridges.
NOTE:
Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning
purposes only. When you receive a low-ink warning message, consider having a
replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need
to replace the print cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable.
If there is ink remaining in the print cartridges, but you are still noticing a problem,
print a self-test report to determine if there is a problem with the print cartridges. If the
self-test report shows a problem, clean the print cartridges. If the problem persists,
you might need to replace the print cartridges.
For more information, see:
•
“Check the estimated ink levels” on page 92
•
“Print a self-test report” on page 90
•
“Clean the print cartridges” on page 100
Cause: The print cartridges needed to be cleaned or there was insufficient ink.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 5: Replace the print cartridge

print cartridge and print using ink-backup mode.

a photo from a memory card).
