Check toner-cartridge status
Print quality problems can occur when using a toner cartridge that is at its estimated end of life. The
configuration report indicates when a supply level is very low.
Once an HP toner cartridge has reached Very Low, HP’s Premium Protection Warranty on that toner cartridge has
ended.
The toner cartridge does not need to be replaced now unless the print quality is no longer acceptable. Consider
having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable.
The information page provides information about the printer, its connectivity, supplies status, and replacement
cartridge number.
