HP No.80 Ink Supplies Troubleshooting

 

 

Monitor

When this message is displayed it means that the printhead has

 

reached its life expectancy.

 

To find out how to see the amount of ink consumed by the printhead and

 

the usage time, go to page 3-9,Obtaining Printhead Information.

 

Printhead life is anticipated to be 700ml or twelve months (9,000

 

hours) in the printer, whichever occurs first, provided that the

 

printhead is used under normal operating conditions (using HP ink

 

cartridges only) and its “install before date” has not lapsed.

 

However results vary depending on the print quality setting used.

 

The printer will attempt to warn the user when this stage is reached

 

with the monitor message.

 

Even with the monitor message being displayed good image quality

 

can still be obtained, but it could start degrading. The customer will

 

have to check the images being printed and decide if they are of an

 

acceptable print quality. If the customer wants to ensure optimum

 

print quality with maximum unattendedness, they should consider

 

buying a new printhead and replacing the old printhead with a new

 

one.
