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

appears. Print-quality problems can occur when usin g a cartridge that has reached its estimated end of
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.
