HP PHOTOSMART PLUS B209 - Manual (Page 69)

NOTE: 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.
2. Look at the color bars in the middle of the page. The bars should be solid, have sharp
edges, and extend with uniform color all the way across the page.

removed.

installed.
