Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you receive
a low ink warning message, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible
printing delays. You do not need to replace cartridges until the print quality becomes unacceptable.
For information about replacing ink cartridges, see
Replace the ink cartridges. For information about
ordering ink cartridges, see
Order ink cartridges. For information about recycling used ink supplies,
see
HP inkjet supplies recycling program.
NOTE: Ink from the cartridges is used in the printing process in a number of different ways,
including in the initialization process, which prepares the printer and cartridges for printing. In
addition, some residual ink is left in the cartridge after it is used. For more information see
