Ink Cartridge Status While Printing

OK
The Ink Cartridge is operating correctly and no action is required.
Low
The Low message is an early warning sign and it is advisable that new supplies should be obtained of that particular color. The amount of ink remaining in the Ink Cartridge depends on it's capacity, but there is approximately 14% of ink available for the user.
Very Low
When the Very Low message is displayed, overnight printing should not be attempted. Changing the Ink Cartridge is strongly recommended to prevent the printer from stopping halfway through a print. There is approximately 8% of ink available for the user.
Empty
The printer will stop and will not be able to continue printing until a new Ink Cartridge has been installed. If this occurs halfway through printing an image, you should check the quality of this image, as stopping mid-plot can affect the print. It would be recommended to reprint the image once a new Ink Cartridge has been installed.
