Question

How can I check the ink or toner levels on my printer?

Answer

Note: None of the below steps will work if you have not installed the software that was included with your computer. It’s also important to realize that these are often estimated ink levels and can be not exact.

1. Turn on the printer.
2. Locate the printer settings, often found by double-clicking or right-clicking the printer icon in the Systray in the bottom right corner of your screen by the time.
3. In the printer settings you should be able to see the ink or toner levels for your printer. Below are a few different examples of what these screens may look like.
