Instructions
Caution: The Reset to Factory Defaults feature erases all settings and returns the printer to original factory state. All jobs, presets, Apps, and device settings are reset. If the printer includes a hard disk, the disk is reinitialized.
The non-volatile memory (NVRAM) stores printer settings, even after the power is turned off. When complete, the printer restarts, then displays the Install Wizard.
IMPORTANT: Before performing any updates and changes on the printer, it is recommended to print a current Configuration Report. The report also lists the current software (firmware) version installed on the printer.
Note: Upgrading to PL6 (XX.5X.XX) does not change the administrator password. If you reset to the device to factory defaults, the administrator password changes to the device serial number for versions PL6 (XX.5X.XX) or later of the software.
At the printer control panel, log in as administrator, then press the Home button.
Touch Device > Resets > Reset to Factory Defaults.
At the prompt, touch Reset.
When the process is complete, the printer restarts automatically.
