How to Change the Printer Cartridge on an HP 7310

An HP 7310 is an all-in-one printer, and it uses different print cartridges depending on your location. It can use HP 94 or HP 96 print cartridges for black ink and it can use HP 95 or HP 97 tri-color print cartridges. The print cartridges you will use on your printer will depend on what is available for you to buy, or what is recommended in your manual.

Instructions

1. Remove the protective tape from the print cartridge. Do not touch the copper strip of your print cartridge because it can damage the cartridge.

2. Turn on your HP 7310 printer, and gently open the access door to the printer cartridges.

3. Remove the old print cartridge by pressing down the cartridge latch. The green latch is for the tri-color cartridges and the black latch is for the black print cartridges. Slowly slide the old print cartridge out.

4. Install the new print cartridge with the HP label facing up. Slide the cartridge into place. Once in the correct place, you will hear a click. Close the latch of the print cartridge, and close the access door.

5. Load plain white paper into your printer when prompted to do so on the control panel of your printer. Press "OK" when the paper is loaded. Your printer will print a cartridge alignment sheet to confirm that the print cartridges were properly installed.

Tips & Warnings

• If you have trouble finding the correct slot for your print cartridge, match the symbols on the cartridge and on the latch. Match a print cartridge with a triangle to the latch that has a triangle. Match a print cartridge that has a square or a pentagon to the latch that has both a square and a pentagon.
