Overriding the ink level gauge | HP Color Inkjet cp1160 guide

overriding the ink level gauge

Overriding the Ink Level Gauge disables the printer’s ink level tracking feature.

Caution! If you use the override sequence described below, you will disable the Ink Level Gauge for your ink cartridge. If you choose to continue printing with an ink cartridge that has had its Ink Level Gauge disabled, you may not know when the cartridge is running low or empty. Printing with an empty cartridge may seriously damage your printheads. Damage that results from continued use of an ink cartridge with a disabled Ink Level Gauge is not the responsibility of HP. Damage that results from the use of non-HP ink is not the responsibility of HP.

The Ink Level Gauge automatically resets when a different ink cartridge is installed in the printer.

Overriding the Ink Level Gauge does not affect ink cartridge expiration dates. The printer cannot use an expired ink cartridge.
