View estimated ink levels

You can view the estimated ink level of the print cartridge installed in the printer on the printer itself. The printer screen displays an ink-level icon that shows the approximate amount of ink remaining in the cartridge:

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.

NOTE: If the ink cartridges were used before being installed in the printer, or have been refilled, the estimated ink levels might be inaccurate or unavailable.

NOTE: Ink from the cartridges is used in the printing process in a number of different ways, including in the initialization process, which prepares the device and cartridges for printing, and in printhead servicing, which keeps print nozzles clear and ink flowing smoothly. In addition, some residual ink is left in the cartridge after it is used. For more information see www.hp.com/go/inkusage.
