ENWW Control panel help system 69

A “Cartridge is low” or “Cartridge is very low” message displays on the printer control panel

Cartridge is low: The printer 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.
Cartridge is very low: The printer 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.

Change the “Very Low” settings

You can change the way the printer reacts when supplies reach the Very Low state. You do not have to re­establish these settings when you install a new toner cartridge.
1. From the Home screen on the product control panel, scroll to and select Supplies.
2. Open the following menus:
Manage Supplies
Supply Settings
Black Cartridge or Color Cartridges
Very Low Settings
3. Select one of the following options:
Select the Stop option to set the printer to stop printing when the cartridge reaches the Very Low threshold.
Select the Prompt to continue option to set the printer to stop printing when the cartridge reaches the Very Low threshold. You can acknowledge the prompt or replace the cartridge to resume printing.
Select the Continue option to set the printer to alert you that the cartridge is very low, and to continue printing beyond the Very Low setting without interaction. This can result in unsatisfactory print quality.
For products with fax capability
When the printer is set to the Stop or Prompt to continue option, there is some risk that faxes will not print when the prrinter resumes printing. This can occur if the printer has received more faxes than the memory can hold while the printer is waiting.
The printer 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.

Verify that there are no pieces of paper, staples, paper clips, or other debris in the paper path.
Clean the document-feeder rollers and the separation pad. Use compressed air or a clean, lint-free cloth moistened with warm water. If misfeeds still occur, replace the rollers.
From the Home screen on the product control panel, scroll to and touch the Supplies button. Check the status of the document-feeder kit, and replace it if necessary.
