Some color ink is used even when printing with black cartridge
only
Ink is used in a number of ways throughout the inkjet printing process. In general, ink in a cartridge is used for
printing documents, photographs and other such materials. Some ink, however, must be used to maintain the
health of the printhead; some ink is residual; and some ink evaporates. For more information on ink usage,
visit www.hp.com/go/learnaboutsupplies and click HP Ink. (You might need to select your country/region
using the Select Country button on the page.)
Check the estimated ink levels
You can check the estimated ink levels from the printer software or from the printer control panel.
To check the estimated ink levels from the printer control panel
1. From the Home screen, select Ink Information, and then press OK.
2. Select Estimated Levels (selected by default), and then press OK.
To check the estimated ink levels from the HP printer software (Windows)
1. Open the HP printer software.
2. In the printer software, from the main menu on the top, click Estimated Cartridge Levels.
To check the ink levels from the HP printer software (OS X)
1. Open HP Utility.
HP Utility is located in the Hewlett-Packard folder in the Applications folder at the top level of the hard
disk.
2. Select the HP OiceJet Pro 8210 from the list of devices at the left of the window.
3. Click Supplies Status.
The estimated ink levels appear.
4. Click All Settings to return to the Information and Support pane.
NOTE: If you have installed a relled or remanufactured cartridge, or a cartridge that has been used in
another printer, the ink level indicator might be inaccurate or unavailable.
NOTE: Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you receive a low-
ink alert, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not have
to replace the cartridges until you are prompted to.
NOTE: Ink from the cartridges is used in the printing process in a number of dierent ways, including in the
initialization process, which prepares the printer and cartridges for printing, and in printhead servicing, which
keeps print nozzles clear and ink owing smoothly. In addition, some residual ink is left in the cartridge after
it is used. For more information, see www.hp.com/go/inkusage .
Replace the cartridges
If you do not already have replacement cartridges for the printer, see Order cartridges. Not all cartridges are
available in all countries/regions.
