Replace the ink cartridges
You can check the estimated ink levels from the Toolbox (Windows), the HP Solution
Center, the HP Printer Utility (Mac OS X), 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
report
).
NOTE: To find out which ink cartridges work with your device, see
Supplies
.
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.
After removing a cartridge from its package, install it right away. Do not remove a
cartridge from the device for long periods of time.
