Enable or disable the Very Low Settings options from the control
panel
You can enable or disable the default settings at any time, and you do not have to re-enable them when you

●
Supply Settings
●

3.Select one of the following options:
●
Select the Stop option to set the product to stop printing (including printing faxes) until you replace
the cartridge.
●
Select the Prompt to continue option to set the product to stop printing (including printing faxes) and
prompt you to replace the cartridge. You can acknowledge the prompt and continue printing.
●
Select the Continue option to set the product to alert you that the cartridge is very low, but to
continue printing.
NOTE: Using the Continue setting allows printing beyond Very Low without customer interaction and
can result in unsatisfactory print quality.
If you select the Stop or Prompt to continue option, the product stops printing when it reaches the Very Low
threshold. When you replace the cartridge, the product automatically resumes printing.
When the product is set to the Stop or Prompt to continue option, there is some risk that faxes will not print
when the product resumes printing. This can occur if the product has received more faxes than the memory can
hold while the product is waiting.
The product can print faxes without interruption when it passes the Very Low threshold if you select the Continue
option for the toner cartridge, but print quality might degrade.
Once an HP supply has reached Very Low, HP’s premium Protection Warranty on that supply has ended.
