Check the estimated ink levels
You can easily check the ink supply level to determine how soon you might need to
replace a cartridge. The ink supply level shows an estimate of the amount of ink remaining
in the cartridges.
NOTE:If you have installed a refilled or remanufactured cartridge, or a cartridge that
has been used in another printer, the ink level indicator might be inaccurate or
unavailable.
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 have to replace the
cartridges until the print quality is unacceptable.
NOTE: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.
To check the ink levels from the HP Photosmart Software
1.In the HP Solution Center, click Settings, point to Print Settings, and then click
Printer Toolbox.
NOTE:You can also open the Printer Toolbox from the Print Properties dialog
box. In the Print Properties dialog box, click the Features tab, and then click the
Printer Services button.
The Printer Toolbox appears.
2.Click the Estimated Ink Level tab.
The estimated ink levels for the ink cartridges appear.

Print and evaluate a print quality report
Print quality issues can occur for a variety of reasons. You might be using the wrong

working properly.

The Engineering Menu appears.
3.Press OK to select Manufacturing Menu.

issues.
Print and evaluate a print quality report 47
Maintain the HP Photosmart
 
						

							To evaluate the print quality report
1.Check the ink levels shown on the page. If a cartridge shows very low ink levels and
you find the print quality unacceptable, consider replacing that ink cartridge. Print
quality typically deteriorates as cartridges run out of ink.
NOTE:If the print quality report is not legible, you can check the estimated ink
levels from the control panel or HP Photosmart Software.
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.
Figure 10-1 Color bars - expected result
• If any of the color bars are irregularly streaked, lighter on one side, or contain one
or more streaks of a different color, refer to the following steps.
Figure 10-2 Color bars - irregularly streaked or faded bar (top bar)
Figure 10-3 Color bars - color mixing (yellow bar contains magenta streaks)
