Print when cartridge has reached estimated end of life
An Order Supplies  message appears when a print cartridge is nearing the end of its life. A  Replace
supplies  message appears when the print cartridge has  reached its estimated end of life. To ensure

life, resulting in waste of print media and toner fr om other cartridges. Replacing a print cartridge when
the  Replace supplies  message appears can prevent this waste.

has reached the recommended replacement point.
