HP Photosmart B8550 Series - Manuel (Page 17)

NOTE: 2 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 the ink cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable.
NOTE: 3 Ink from the cartridges is used in the printing process in a number of different ways, including in the
initialization process, which prepares the product 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 .
Visit www.hp.com/go/learnaboutsupplies for more information on estimated cartridge yields.
To check the ink levels from the control panel
1. Press Setup.
2. Press the down arrow button to highlight Tools, and then press OK.
3. Press the down arrow button to highlight Display Ink Gauge, and then press OK.
The product displays a gauge that shows the estimated ink levels of all cartridges installed.
TIP: You can also print a diagnostic page to see if ink cartridges might need to be replaced.
