Replacing Ink Cartridges

Before you begin a large print job, you should check your ink levels. If one of
your cartridges is low, you can replace it before you start. Or you can wait
until the ink runs out, replace the cartridge, and then continue the job
without any loss of print quality. However, it is best to replace a low ink
cartridge before starting a large print job.

of ink remaining as follows:
