Print when a print cartridge is at estimated end of life

Supply-related notifications are communicated on the product control panel.

A <Supply> Low message—where <Supply> is the color cartridge—appears when a print cartridge is nearing the estimated end of its useful life.

A <Supply> Very Low message appears when the print cartridge is at its estimated end of useful life. To ensure optimal print quality, HP recommends replacing a print cartridge when the <Supply> Very Low message appears.

Print-quality problems can occur when using a cartridge that is at its estimated end of life. The supply does not need to be replaced at this point in time unless the print quality is no longer acceptable.

NOTE: Using the Continue setting allows printing beyond Very Low without customer interaction and can result in unsatisfactory print quality.

When a color print cartridge becomes very low, the product prints in black only to prevent fax interruptions. To configure the product to print in color and use the remaining toner in the print cartridge past very low, follow these steps:

1.From the Home screen on the control panel, touch the Setup button.

2.Open the following menus:

System Setup

Supply Settings

Color Cartridges

Very Low Setting

Continue

When you choose to replace the very low print cartridge, color printing resumes automatically.
