Check estimated ink levels You can easily check the ink supply level to determine how soon you might need to replace an ink cartridge. The ink supply level shows an estimate of the amount of ink remaining in the ink cartridges. To check the ink levels from the HP printer software (Windows) 1. Open the HP printer software. For more information, see Open the HP printer software on page 10. 2. In the printer software, click the Estimated Ink Levels tab. NOTE: If you have installed a refilled or remanufactured ink cartridge, or an ink cartridge that has been used in another printer, the ink level indicator might be inaccurate or unavailable. NOTE: Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you receive a low-ink warning message, consider having a replacement ink cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not have to replace the ink cartridges until the print quality is unacceptable. NOTE: Ink from the ink 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, and in printhead servicing, which keeps print nozzles clear and ink flowing smoothly. In addition, some residual ink is left in the ink cartridge after it is used. For more information, see www.hp.com/go/inkusage. 24 Chapter 3 Manage ink cartridges ENWW
