When you receive a low-ink alert, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. This icon has a red border when an ink cartridge needs attention. The icon below displays a screen where you can see information about the ink cartridges, including fill levels. You can also check the estimated ink levels from the printer software or from the printer control panel. When the ink level for the print cartridge is low, a message might appear on your computer screen. So if you are not a frequent printer, go with the regular cartridges. Our advice is that if you print often, go with XL. They will be able to print at least double the pages of a regular cartridge. XL (Extra Large) cartridges cost more but do provide better value in the long run. HP recommends that you use Original HP ink cartridges. As you turn on the device and get ready to use it, an initialization sequence localizes it to the country associated with the ink cartridges you installed. When you unbox a new HP inkjet printer and set it up, you install a set of ink tanks that ship with the printer. HP often designs its inkjet hardware to use country-specific consumables.

Cartridges are not compatible between different brands, and often not within the same brand. Make sure you purchase the right ink cartridges for your specific printer and printer region or have your old ones refilled.
