The front panel displays four horizontal bars. These bars represent how much ink is remaining in the Ink
Cartridges: as ink is used up the bars get shorter in length. To see how much ink is remaining, go to the Ink
Cartridge Information submenu. See
Obtaining Ink Cartridge information on page 73.
Ink Cartridge status while printing
OK
The Ink Cartridge is operating correctly and no action is required.
Low
The Low message is an early warning sign and it is advisable that new supplies should be obtained of that
particular color. The amount of ink remaining in the Ink Cartridge depends on its capacity, but there is
approximately 14% of ink available for the user.
Very Low
When the Very Low message is displayed, overnight printing should not be attempted. Changing the Ink
Cartridge is strongly recommended to prevent the printer from stopping halfway through a print. There is
approximately 8% of ink available for the user.
Empty
The printer will stop and will not be able to continue printing until a new Ink Cartridge has been installed. If
this occurs halfway through printing an image, you should check the quality of this image, as stopping mid-
plot can affect the print. It is recommended to reprint the image once a new Ink Cartridge has been installed.
Faulty
The Ink Cartridge is unable to operate correctly. The printer will stop and will not be able to continue printing
until a new Ink Cartridge has been installed. If this occurs halfway through printing an image, you should
check the quality of this image, as stopping mid-plot can affect the print. It is recommended to reprint the
image once a new Ink Cartridge has been installed.
Non-HP
The Ink Cartridge ink inserted is refilled or a non-HP Ink Cartridge.
Ink Cartridge status while replacing
The printer can report the following status messages while the Ink Cartridge is being replaced:
Missing
The Ink Cartridge has not been installed or is installed incorrectly. The printer will not print until all Ink
Cartridges have been installed correctly.
Reseat
The Ink Cartridge is having continuity problems. Try removing the Ink Cartridge from the printer and inserting
it in again.
Replace
The Ink Cartridge is faulty and needs to be replaced before the printer can continue printing.
Unknown/Non-HP

Cartridges. Refer to the User’s Guide for further information regarding using refilled or non-HP approved Ink
Cartridges.
