Check toner-cartridge status
Follow these steps to check the estimated life remaining in the toner cartridges and if applicable, the status
of other replaceable maintenance parts.
Step one: Print the supplies status page
1. Press the Home
button on the product control panel.
2. Select Supplies.
3. The status of all supply items is listed on the screen.
4. To print a report of the status of all supply items, including the genuine HP part number for reordering
the supply, select Manage Supplies, and then select Print Supplies Status.
Step two: Check supplies status
1. Look at the supplies status report to check the percent of life remaining for the toner cartridges and if
applicable, the status of other replaceable maintenance parts.
Print quality problems can occur when using a toner cartridge that is at its estimated end of life. The
supplies status page indicates when a supply level is very low. After an HP supply has reached the very
low threshold, HP’s premium protection warranty on that supply has ended.
The toner cartridge does not need to be replaced now unless the print quality is no longer acceptable.
Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable.
If you determine that you need to replace a toner cartridge or other replaceable maintenance parts, the
supplies status page lists the genuine HP part numbers.
2. Check to see if you are using a genuine HP cartridge.
A genuine HP toner cartridge has the words “HP” or “Hewlett-Packard” on it, or has the HP logo on it.
