A <Color> cartridge is low or <Color> cartridge is very low message displays on the product control panel

A <Color> cartridge is low or <Color> cartridge is very low message displays on the product control panel, and the product does not print.

NOTE: Toner level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When an indicator shows low-toner levels, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable.

Once an HP toner cartridge has reached “very low”, HP’s Premium Protection Warranty on that toner cartridge has ended.

You can change the way the product reacts when supplies reach the Very Low state. You do not have to reestablish these settings when you install a new toner cartridge.

Enable or disable the Very Low settings

You can enable or disable the default settings at any time, and you do not have to re-enable them when you install a new toner cartridge.
