Using the Toolbox

The Toolbox provides status and maintenance information about your printer. It also provides access to documentation and online help tools for solving printer problems.

The Toolbox is available for Windows only. For Macintosh, see “Using the HP Inkjet Toolbox (Macintosh)”.

After installing the printer software, you can open the Toolbox by clicking Start, pointing to Programs, hp deskjet 9600 series, and then clicking hp deskjet 9600 series Toolbox. Or in the status area of the Windows taskbar (near the clock), click the Toolbox icon.

Printer Status tab

The Printer Status tab displays ink level information for each print cartridge and also printer status.

The printer selection drop-down list lets you select the printer you wish to use with the Toolbox utilities. It lists printers that are compatible with the Toolbox. The status window displays messages related to current printer status, such as Printing job, Top cover open, and Print cartridge empty.
