Manage print cartridges

Correctly using, storing, and monitoring the print cartridge can help ensure high-quality print output.

Settings for print cartridges

Print when a print cartridge is at estimated end of life

●

<Color> <Supply> Low

message—where <Color> is the color of the supply, and <Supply>

is the type of supply—appears when a supply is nearing the estimated end of its useful life.

●

<Color> <Supply> Very Low

message appears when a supply is at its estimated end of

useful life.

Print-quality problems can occur when using a supply that is at its estimated end of life.

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 install a new cartridge.

From the Home screen on the control panel, touch the

Administration

button.

Open the following menus:

●

Manage Supplies

●

Supply Settings

●

Black Cartridge

Color Cartridges

●

Very Low Settings

Select one of the following options:

●

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.

●

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.

If you select the

Stop

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

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.
