There's no need for a real man-machine dialogue, it's just a 100% sure situation: toner (is) low, so toner (is) op. Jan Willem's situation is possible as well, but the source text doesn't say so.

tonercartridge leeg
'Op' klinkt kinderachtig en de toner is inderdaad niet leeg, wel de cartridge.

: Jouw vertaling is prima voor een voldoende groot lcd-scherm, maar "toner op" is in geen enkel opzicht kinderachtig, en heel adequaat. Tenminste niet Nederand.
