Managing supplies
Life expectancies of supplies
The life of a print cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text
at approximately 5% coverage, a cyan, magenta, or yellow print cartridge for the HP Color LaserJet
CM1015/CM1017 MFP lasts an average of 2,000 pages, and a black print cartridge lasts an average
of 2,500 pages. A typical business letter has 5% coverage.
Check and order supplies
Check the supplies status from the control panel by printing a Supplies Status page, or viewing the
HP ToolboxFX. Hewlett-Packard recommends that placing an order for a replacement print cartridge
when the Low message for a print cartridge first displays. For typical use, the Order message
indicates that approximately two weeks of life remains. When using a new, authentic HP print
cartridge, it is possible to obtain the following types of supplies information:
●
Amount of cartridge remaining
●
Estimated number of pages remaining
●
Number of pages printed
●
Other supplies information
NOTE If the MFP is connected to the network, it is possible to set up HP ToolboxFX to send
an e-mail notification when a print cartridge is low or is near the end of its useful life. If the
MFP is directly connected to a computer, set the HP ToolboxFX to notify you when supplies
are low.
Check supply status and order using the control panel
Do one of the following:
●
Check the supplies status gauges on the control panel. These gauges indicate when a print
cartridge is low or empty. The "?" also indicates when a non-HP print cartridge is first installed.
●
To print the Supplies Status page from the MFP, select Reports Menu, then Supplies Status.
If the supplies levels are low, reorder supplies through the local HP dealer, by telephone, or online.
