Determining ink color (for users with color-vision deficiencies)

The copier uses four print cartridges.The colors, as installed from left to right, are yellow, magenta, cyan, and black. Each cartridge has a part number that uses a letter designation for the color of the ink. This part number is located on the front label of the print cartridge (shown below).

Reading the ink-level indicator

To check the amount of ink in each cartridge, look at the ink-level indicator on the front of the cartridge. As ink is dispensed from the cartridge, the green area in the ink-level indicator (all green when full) decreases, and you will see more black area.

The ink-level indicator is only an approximation of the amount of ink remaining in the cartridge.

Out-of-ink sensing

When the HP Color Copier 210 senses that a print cartridge is out of ink, it displays a message on the front panel. The copier then completes copying the current page and stops. To continue your copy job, replace the affected print cartridge and press the Select/Resume button. To continue using the same print cartridge, press Select/Resume.
