Purpose

Shows the amount of ink in the ink cartridge. The color of the icon corresponds to the color of the ink cartridge, and the fill level of the icon corresponds to the fill level of the ink cartridge.

NOTE: Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you receive a low-ink warning message, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace cartridges until prompted to do so.

Shows that an unknown ink cartridge is inserted. This icon might appear if an ink cartridge contains non-HP ink.

Shows that a wired network connection exists.

Shows that a wireless network connection exists. The signal strength is indicated by the number of curved lines. This is for infrastructure mode. (This feature is supported on some models.) For more information, see Set up the device for wireless communication (some models only).

Shows that an ad hoc, or computer-to-computer, wireless network connection exists. (This feature is supported on some models.) For more information, see Set up the device for wireless communication (some models only).
