2 Supplies gauges
3 Print cartridge colors are indicated from left to right: black, yellow, cyan, and magenta
Understanding Supplies Status
The supplies gauges show the consumption levels of print cartridges (black, yellow, cyan,
and magenta).
Black, Yellow, Cyan, and Magenta Supplies Status gauges
A ? appears instead of the consumption level when the level is not known. This can occur in
the following circumstances:
● Missing cartridges
● Incorrectly placed cartridges
● Cartridges with an error
● Some non-HP cartridges
The supplies gauge appears whenever the printer shows the Ready state with no warnings.
It will also appear when the printer shows a warning or error message concerning a print
cartridge or multiple supplies. If a supply is empty, the gauge will flash.

The printer has four buttons and two lights to indicate and control the printer status.
