Print the self test
NOTE: If the print cartridges were used before being installed in the HP Fax,
the estimated ink levels may be inaccurate or unavailable.
NOTE: If the HP Fax is low on ink (ink level is 1/8), new faxes that come in will
not be printed. They will be stored in memory. You must manually print the faxes
from memory (see Reprinting faxes on page 44) until you replace the ink
cartridge (see Replace the print cartridge on page 48).
TIP: If memory become full before the print cartridge is replaced, the HP Fax
will stop answering the phone. Be sure to print the faxes out of memory regularly
if you do not immediately replace the ink cartridge.
