The printer communicates through the display and the lights on the lower part of the control panel. The display shows status information, as well as menus, help information, and error messages. The Ready, Data, and Attention lights provide at-a-glance information about the printer state.
You can perform most routine printing tasks from the computer through the printer driver or any software program. Use the control panel to access printer features not supported by the printer driver or software program. Any changes that you make from the computer will override the printer control-panel settings.

The message and prompt areas of the display alert you to the state of the printer and tell you how to respond.
The supplies gauge shows the consumption levels of print cartridges (black, cyan, magenta, and yellow). When a non-HP print cartridge is installed, a ? might appear instead of the consumption level. The supplies gauge appears whenever the printer shows the Ready state, and whenever the printer shows a warning or error message concerning a cartridge.
