Check estimated ink levels You can easily check the ink supply level to determine how soon you might need to replace a cartridge. The ink supply level shows an estimate of the amount of ink remaining in the cartridges. NOTE: ● If you have installed a refilled or remanufactured cartridge, or a cartridge that has been used in another printer, the ink level indicator might be inaccurate or unavailable. ● Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you receive a lowink warning message, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not have to replace the cartridges until the print quality is unacceptable. ● 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, and in printhead servicing, which keeps print nozzles clear and ink flowing smoothly. In addition, some residual ink is left in the cartridge after it is used. For more information, see www.hp.com/go/inkusage. NOTE: If you have enrolled in the HP Instant Ink service, the printer automatically checks the ink levels and orders new ink when necessary. For more information about HP Instant Ink, go to hpinstantink.com. To check the ink levels from the HP Smart app ● Open HP Smart. Check the estimated ink levels at the right side of the printer image. 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 (Windows). 2. In the printer software, click the Estimated Levels tab. 50 Chapter 6 Manage cartridges ENWW

Check estimated ink levels
You can easily check the ink supply level to determine how soon you might need to replace a cartridge. The
ink supply level shows an estimate of the amount of ink remaining in the cartridges.
NOTE:
●
If you have installed a
refilled
or remanufactured cartridge, or a cartridge that has been used in another
printer, the ink level indicator might be inaccurate or unavailable.
●
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 have to replace the cartridges until the print quality is unacceptable.
●
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, and in printhead servicing,
which keeps print nozzles clear and ink
flowing
smoothly. In addition, some residual ink is left in the
cartridge after it is used. For more information, see

NOTE:
If you have enrolled in the HP Instant Ink service, the printer automatically checks the ink levels and
orders new ink when necessary. For more information about HP Instant Ink, go to
