NOTE:
If the print cartridges were used before being installed in the printer, or if they
are not genuine HP cartridges or have been refilled, the estimated ink levels will not
appear on the Estimated Ink Level tab.
The Estimated Ink Level tab also contains print cartridge ordering information. To view
this information, click the
Print Cartridge Information
button.
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 device 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
