Resetting the Printer

There are two ways to reset the printer.

Reset

Resetting the printer stops printing and clears the current print job received from the active interface. You may want to reset the printer when there is a problem with the print job itself and the printer cannot print successfully.

To reset the printer, hold down the Alt and the Continue buttons of the printer simultaneously for a few seconds until the Reset indicator lights on the control panel; then release the buttons. Your printer is now reset and ready to receive a new print job.

Reset all

Reset all stops printing, clears the printer memory, and returns the printer settings to the default values. The print jobs received in printer memory from all interfaces are erased. Current settings and downloaded fonts are also erased.

To perform Reset all, hold down the Alt and the Continue buttons simultaneously for about eight seconds until the Reset All indicator on the control panel lights; then release the buttons. Your printer is now reset and ready to receive a new print job.

You can also perform Reset all by turning off the printer.

Note:

Performing reset all clears the print jobs received from all interfaces, so there is a chance of interrupting someone else's job.
