Cartridge is low: The printer indicates when a cartridge level is low. Actual cartridge life remaining may vary.
Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable. The cartridge
does not need to be replaced now.
Cartridge is very low: The printer indicates when the cartridge level is very low. Actual cartridge life
remaining may vary. Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer
acceptable. The cartridge does not need to be replaced now unless the print quality is no longer acceptable.
Once an HP cartridge has reached Very Low, HP’s Premium Protection Warranty on that cartridge has ended.

Black Original LaserJet Toner Cartridge and HP 34A Original LaserJet Imaging Drum.

You can change the way the printer reacts when supplies reach the Very Low state. You do not have to re-
establish these settings when you install a new cartridge.
NOTE: The "Very Low" setting cannot be changed for HP 33A Black Original LaserJet Toner Cartridge and HP
34A Original LaserJet Imaging Drum.
