Printer resets
The following sections describe the type of printer resets and power-on models.
Cold reset
A cold reset unlocks menus that have been previously locked and sets all control panel menu items
(including EIO settings) back to the factory defaults. However, it does not clear the values in the
SERVICE menu (such as the serial number and page counts).
NOTE Before performing a cold reset, print a menu map and a configuration page. Use the
information on the configuration page to reset any customer-set printer configuration values that
the cold reset procedure changes.
WARNING! Performing a cold reset erases all of the EIO card and Jetdirect Inside.
To perform a cold reset
1. Turn the printer off.
2. Turn the printer on. When the printer begins its memory count, press and hold down
until all
three printer control-panel lights flash once and then remain on. This might take up to 10 seconds.
3. Release
.
4. After SELECT LANGUAGE appears on the control-panel display, press
or until COLD
RESET is highlighted.
5. Press
. The printer performs a cold reset and then continues its power-on sequence.
6. Check all I/O settings and reset any customer-set printer configuration values.
NVRAM initialization
CAUTION Initializing the NVRAM resets the event log, the page counts, the EIO card, and
Jetdirect Inside. Initializing the NVRAM also resets the service menu values to factory defaults.
Use the SERVICE menu to restore the page count. Also, reconfigure any computers that print to
this printer so that the computers can recognize the printer. Initialize the NVRAM only when
absolutely necessary. In most situations, use a cold reset rather than a NVRAM initialization to
reset printer settings, because the values in the SERVICE menu are retained after a cold reset.
CAUTION Never perform a full NVRAM initialization because a significant amount of data will
be lost on the formatter. Lost information will include the serial number, model number (cannot
be restored), firmware code (cannot be restored), page count, and EIO and Jetdirect inside
configuration information.
NOTE Before performing a NVRAM initialization, print a menu map and a configuration page
(see
Configuration pages on page 283). Use the information on the configuration page to reset
any customer-set printer configuration values that the NVRAM initialization procedure changes.
Take special note of the total page count and the serial number.
