You can check the estimated ink levels from the Toolbox (Windows), the HP Printer Utility (Mac OS), or the embedded Web server. For information about using these tools, see Use device management tools. You can also print the self-test diagnostic page to view this information (see Understand the self-test diagnostic page).
