Printer Status lights and buttons

Understanding Supplies Status

The printer contains five lights and one button to indicate and control the status of the print cartridges and imaging drum. To interpret and troubleshoot control panel light messages, see “Resolving control panel messages” on page 71.

Black, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow Supplies Status lights

These lights indicate when a print cartridge is low (light is on), empty or missing (light blinks), or the first time you install a non-HP print cartridge (light blinks and Attention light is on). These lights will not indicate low or empty status for non-HP print cartridges.

Rotate Carousel button

When the top cover is closed, pressing (ROTATE CAROUSEL) rotates the print-cartridge carousel to bring the next print cartridge into the top position. The light for the print cartridge that is approaching the top position blinks quickly two or three times.

Imaging drum light

This light indicates when the imaging drum is low (light is on) empty or missing (light blinks), or the first time you install a non-HP imaging drum (light blinks and Attention light is on). This light will not indicate low or empty status for non-HP imaging drums.
