NOTE:

Aligning the cartridges ensures high-quality output. The HP All-in-One prompts you to align the

cartridges every time you install a new cartridge. If you remove and reinstall the same print cartridge, the
HP All-in-One will not prompt you to align the print cartridges. The HP All-in-One remembers the
alignment values for that print cartridge, so you do not need to realign the print cartridges.
