Print when a cartridge reaches estimated end of life
When a print cartridge reaches the end of its estimated useful life, the control panel displays a <COLOR>
CARTRIDGE VERY LOW message. You do not need to replace the supply at this time unless print
quality is no longer acceptable. When the supply has reached this condition, the HP premium protection
warranty for that supply has ended. The product does not supply more prompts after this message
appears.
You can configure the product to stop when the <COLOR> CARTRIDGE VERY LOW message displays.
The print cartridge might still be able to produce acceptable print quality. When the product stops, you
can continue printing either by replacing the supply or by using the AT VERY LOW setting in the
MANAGE SUPPLIES menu to reconfigure the product to continue printing. For more information, see
Manage supplies menu on page 16.
The cartridge-life remaining is an approximation only, and it varies depending on the types of documents
you print and other factors.
