Method of connecting a fluid cartridge to a fluid cartridge receiving structure comprises inserting the fluid cartridge along a straight line with respect the fluid cartridge receiving structure by guiding the fluid cartridge using a guide track arranged on a bottom face of the fluid cartridge and extending parallel to the straight line, to establish a fluid connection between a first fluidic interface and a second fluidic interface. A latch of the cartridge receiving structure is guided into a locked position, for maintaining the fluid connection, by said movement along the straight line using a latch stop and a latch track, which are arranged on the bottom face of the fluid cartridge to guide and retain the latch of the cartridge receiving structure.
