HP DeskJet 3700 - Manual (Page 56)

Use single cartridge mode
Use the single cartridge mode to operate the printer with only one cartridge. The single cartridge mode is
initiated when one of the following occurs.
● There is only one cartridge installed in the carriage.
● A cartridge is removed from the carriage if there are two cartridges installed previously.
NOTE: If the printer enters the single cartridge mode when two cartridges are installed in the printer,
verify that the protective piece of plastic tape has been removed from each cartridge. When the plastic
tape covers the cartridge contacts, the printer cannot detect that the cartridge is installed. If there is no
plastic tape on the cartridges, try cleaning the cartridge contacts. For information about cleaning
cartridge contacts, see Cartridge issues on page 74 .
To exit the single cartridge mode
● Install both the black and tri-color cartridges in the printer.
