4 Place the print cartridge into the cradle, with the green arrow on the cartridge top pointing toward the printer.

Be careful not to slide the print cartridge against the back of the cradle. A sliding motion can damage the electrical contacts on the print cartridge cradle.

5 Push the top of the print cartridge forward, snapping it into place.

6 Press the Change Cartridge button once and close the access door.

The print cartridge cradle returns

to the “home” position and the Change Cartridge light goes off.

Note

Be sure to use only recommended HP print cartridges with the HP DeskJet 340 printer. With an incorrect cartridge, the print cartridge cradle will move back to the loading position, and the Change Cartridge light will continue to blink.

See “Supplies and Accessories” for ordering information.

Printing in Color

To print in color you need a HP Color Kit. This contains:

an HP color print cartridge:

a reusable storage container for the print cartridge

When your color print cartridge runs out, you need to buy only a replacement color print cartridge.
