Print when a print cartridge is at estimated end of life
●
A Black Cartridge Low message appears when the print cartridge is nearing the estimated end
of its useful life.
●
A Black Cartridge Very Low message appears when the print cartridge is at its estimated end
of useful life.
Print-quality problems can occur when using a supply that is at its estimated end of life.
Once an HP supply has reached Very Low, HP’s premium Protection Warranty on that supply has
ended.
Enable or disable the Very Low Settings options from the control panel
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 print cartridge.
1. From the Home screen on the control panel, touch the Administration button.
2. Open the following menus:
●
Manage Supplies
●
Supply Settings
●
Black Cartridge
●
Very Low Settings
3. Select one of the following options:
●
Select the Continue option to set the product to alert you that the print cartridge is very low,
but to continue printing.
●
Select the Stop option to set the product to stop printing (including printing faxes) until you
replace the print cartridge.
●
Select the Prompt to continue option to set the product to stop printing (including printing
faxes) and prompt you to replace the print cartridge. You can acknowledge the prompt and
continue printing.
When the product is set to the Stop option, there is some risk that faxes will not print after the new
cartridge is installed if your product has received more faxes than the memory can hold while stopped.
When the product is set to the Prompt to continue option, there is some risk that faxes will not print after
the new cartridge is installed if your product has received more faxes than the memory can hold while
the product is waiting for the prompt to be acknowledged.
