What happens after a regional reset?

• The printer's settings are updated to comply with regional regulations and standards.
• The printer operates optimally, providing reliable and high-quality printing with the new region's cartridges.
• By performing a regional reset, you can ensure your HP printer works correctly and efficiently in its new location.
