override the ink level gauge
Overriding the Ink Level Gauge disables the printer’s ink level tracking feature,
but allows you to use a refilled cartridge.
Caution! If you use the override sequence described below, you
will disable the Ink Level Gauge for your ink cartridge. If you
choose to continue printing with an ink cartridge that has had its
Ink Level Gauge disabled, you will not know when the cartridge
is running low or empty. Printing with an empty cartridge may
seriously damage your printheads. Damage that results from
continued use of an ink cartridge with a disabled Ink Level Gauge
is not the responsibility of Hewlett-Packard. Damage that results
from the use of non-HP ink is not the responsibility of Hewlett-
Packard.
The Ink Level Gauge is automatically reset when a different ink cartridge is
installed in the printer.
Overriding the Ink Level Gauge does not affect ink cartridge expiration dates.
The printer cannot use an expired ink cartridge.
