Low on ink
Solution: 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 the
print cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable.
If you have installed a refilled or remanufactured cartridge, or a cartridge that has
been used in another product, the ink level indicator may be inaccurate or unavailable.
