Status Codes and Messages
NOTE
Most problems with Ink Supplies will be solved by the user
simply following the instructions in the action message.
If a problem persists, a Call Agent can try and troubleshoot  
Consumables problems by requesting the HP Status code from the 
Customer via the phone. Using this process, it can be determined 
whether the Printer requires any on-site maintenance.
The HP Status Code is made up of 4 digits: the first two digits are 
the HP ID Code that identify the consumable and its color. The last 
two digits are the status number indicating the nature of the 
problem.
The tables in the next few pages describe the messages and status 
codes for HP Ink Supplies.
