Checking Printer Status

Using the control panel, you can check the amount of ink remaining, the total number of prints, and the status of your maintenance tank(s), and other information. You can print out a status check (described in the next section), or view the printer’s status on the LCD display (see page 152) or a printer driver screen (see page 153).
