How to Check the Ink Level on an HP Deskjet F380

1. Click 'Start, HP Solution Center' on your computer.
2. Choose the 'Settings' menu, then 'Print Settings' and 'Printer Toolbox.'
3. Click 'Estimated Ink Level.' If ink levels are low and your printouts have shown streaks or lines, replace your ink cartridges.
4. Follow the prompts to align the cartridges if you've replaced them.
5. Keep an eye on your printouts after you've changed cartridges. A 'low-ink' warning should pop up if you're trying to print with cartridges that are low on ink, but it's a good idea to be aware of the signs of low ink, since printing with an empty or nearly empty cartridge can damage your printer.
