When the cartridge is out of toner or drum life
The REPLACE CARTRIDGE message appears in one of these situations:
■ When the print cartridge is out of toner. If CARTRIDGE OUT is set to CONTINUE (in the
SYSTEM SETUP submenu of the CONFIGURE DEVICE menu), the MFP continues printing
without interaction until the cartridge reaches the end of drum life. HP does not guarantee print
quality after the REPLACE CARTRIDGE message first appears. Replace the print cartridge as
soon as possible. (See
Ordering parts, accessories, and supplies.) The REPLACE CARTRIDGE
message remains until you replace the print cartridge. If CARTRIDGE OUT is set to STOP, the
MFP stops printing until you replace the print cartridge or resume printing by configuring the MFP
to continue: In the CONFIGURE DEVICE menu, under SYSTEM SETUP, set CARTRIDGE OUT
to CONTINUE.
■ When the drum life of the print cartridge is out. You must replace the print cartridge to
continue printing. No override is possible, even if toner remains in the cartridge. (See
Ordering
parts, accessories, and supplies.) This situation occurs to protect the MFP.
