NOTE: If this option is not available in your print driver, you can set it using the HP Embedded Web Server.

A Cartridge is low or Cartridge is very low message displays on the product control panel

Black cartridge is low: The product indicates when a toner cartridge level is low. Actual toner cartridge life remaining may vary. Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable. The toner cartridge does not need to be replaced now.
Continue printing with the current cartridge until redistributing the toner no longer yields acceptable print quality. To redistribute the toner, remove the toner cartridge from the printer and gently rock the cartridge back and forth about its horizontal axis. For graphical representation, see cartridge replacement instructions. Reinsert the toner cartridge into the printer and close the cover.
Black cartridge is very low: The product indicates when the toner cartridge level is very low. Actual toner cartridge life remaining may vary. Consider having a replacement available to install when print quality is no longer acceptable. The toner cartridge does not need to be replaced now unless the print quality is no longer acceptable.
Once an HP toner cartridge has reached “very low”, HP’s Premium Protection Warranty on that toner cartridge has ended.
You can change the way the product reacts when supplies reach the Very Low state. You do not have to re­establish these settings when you install a new toner cartridge.

A customer congurable option on this product is "Prompt to Remind Me in 100 pages, 200 pages, 300 pages, 400 pages, or never." This option is provided as a customer convenience and is not an indication these pages will have acceptable print quality.
Once an HP toner cartridge has reached Very Low, HP’s Premium Protection Warranty on that toner cartridge has ended. All print defects or cartridge failures incurred when an HP toner cartridge is used in Continue at very low mode will not be considered to be defects in materials or workmanship in the toner cartridge under the HP Print Cartridge Warranty Statement.
