HP TonerGauge (HP Color LaserJet 8550) Note The HP TonerGauge feature is not enabled on HP Color LaserJet 8550 MFP printers. The HP TonerGauge feature allows the user to estimate how much toner is left in the cartridges. The HP TonerGauge indicator appears on the configuration page, on the status tab of the driver, and in HP Web JetAdmin (for the network administrator). The toner level indicated by the gauge may be used to estimate whether enough toner remains in the cartridges to complete a print job. Resetting the HP TonerGauge After a new toner cartridge is installed, the user must reset the HP TonerGauge from the control panel.
When the top cover is closed after the printer has detected a toner low condition, the NEW TONER CARTRIDGE=NO message is displayed on the control panel for approximately 30 seconds. To reset the HP TonerGauge: Note If the NEW TONER CARTRIDGE=NO message is no longer displayed on the control panel and you have replaced one or more of the toner cartridges, then press M ENU repeatedly until CONFIGURATION MENU appears. When you replace an empty or low toner cartridge, press I TEM repeatedly until NEW TONER CARTRIDGE=NO appears. 1 Press - V ALUE + until YES appears. 2 Press S ELECT to save the selection. 3 NEW TONER=BLACK will appear.
