Ink/toner/cartridge low level/ Ink/toner/cartridge is empty
Printers don't have something else. They have some consumables like Ink/toner/cartridge or specifically treated solvent. Most times this message means low/empty cartridge, toner or ink.

If translation must be accurate we need to do research with people that know how. Sometimes we can't find experts and we have to make an informed guess but this is not the case here, the selected answer is too vague.
