Manage print cartridges
Correctly using, storing, and monitoring the print cartridge can help ensure high-quality print output.
Settings for print cartridges
Print when a print cartridge is at estimated end of life
● A Low message—where is the color of the supply, and
is the type of supply—appears when a supply is nearing the estimated end of its useful life.
● A Very Low message appears when a supply is at its estimated end of
useful life.
Print-quality problems can occur when using a supply that is at its estimated end of life.
Enable or disable the Very Low Settings options from the control panel
You can enable or disable the default settings at any time, and you do not have to re-enable them
when you install a new cartridge.
1. From the Home screen on the control panel, touch the Administration button.
2. Open the following menus:
● Manage Supplies
● Supply Settings
● Black Cartridge or Color Cartridges
● Very Low Settings
3. Select one of the following options:
● Select the Continue option to set the product to alert you that the cartridge is very low, but to
continue printing.
NOTE: Using the Continue setting allows printing beyond Very Low without customer
interaction and can result in unsatisfactory print quality.
● Select the Stop option to set the product to stop printing (including printing faxes) until you
replace the cartridge.
● Select the Prompt to continue option to set the product to stop printing (including printing
faxes) and prompt you to replace the cartridge. You can acknowledge the prompt and
continue printing.
If you select the Stop or Prompt to continue option, the product stops printing when it reaches the Very
Low threshold. When you replace the cartridge, the product automatically resumes printing.
When the product is set to the Stop or Prompt to continue option, there is some risk that faxes will not
print when the product resumes printing. This can occur if the product has received more faxes than the
memory can hold while the product is waiting.
