Narrative:
Cargo only hazmat was loaded 1 min prior to push. I signed our company's form for hazmat notification. It appeared completed and legal. The 'cargo only aircraft' was circled which I missed because I was used to another form that has cargo only across entire page. There was no incident or spillage. I was unable to see box prior to departure as is normal because of late arrival on flight deck. FAA inspector did not notice this discrepancy either. He was riding in the jump seat.
