Printer status does not appear when printing

Ink has run out mean in cartridge ink level counter reach zero level. Cartridge can not be used again even though it was refilled, because the counter still reads zero level.Replace the new cartridge or reset the counter using ip1600 ink level resetter. But I thinkthe more effective is to turn off the ink level counter. Just press the ink button about 30 seconds and then release. After that will appear ink level counters have been released.In the ink image on the monitor status will appear gray.
