a genuine HP cartridge.

14 HP Photosmart 370 series

Insert or replace the print cartridge (continued)

When you are not using a print cartridge

Each time you install or replace a print
cartridge, a message appears on the
printer screen asking you to load plain
paper so the printer can align the
cartridge. This ensures high-quality prints.

Align the cartridge

1 Load paper in the In tray and press

OK.

2 Follow the onscreen instructions to

align the cartridge.

See Align the cartridge.

Whenever you remove a print cartridge
from the printer, store it in a print
cartridge protector. The cartridge
protector keeps the ink from drying out.
Storing the cartridge improperly can
cause the cartridge to malfunction.

In some countries/regions the cartridge
protector is not included with the printer,
but comes with the Gray Photo cartridge
that can be purchased separately. In
other countries/regions, the protector is
included with the printer.

➔

To insert a cartridge into the
cartridge protector, slide the
cartridge into the protector at a
slight angle and snap it securely
into place.
