Fax memory full
If Backup Fax Reception or HP Digital Fax (Fax to PC or Fax to Mac) is enabled and the printer
has a problem (such as a paper jam), the printer saves incoming faxes to memory until the
problem is resolved. However, the printer’s memory might fill up with faxes that have not been
printed yet or transferred to the computer.
To solve this problem, resolve any problems with the printer.
For more information, see
Solve fax problems.

Low on ink
The ink cartridge identified in the message is low on ink.
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 print quality becomes unacceptable.
For information about replacing ink cartridges, see
Replace the ink cartridges. For information
about ordering ink cartridges, see
Order printing supplies online. For information about recycling
used ink supplies, see
HP inkjet supplies recycling program.
NOTE: Ink from the cartridges is used in the printing process in a number of different ways,
including in the initialization process, which prepares the printer and cartridges for printing. In
addition, some residual ink is left in the cartridge after it is used. For more information see
www.hp.com/go/inkusage.
Cartridge Problem
The ink cartridge identified in the message is missing, damaged, incompatible, or inserted into the
wrong slot in the printer.
