Resetting the PSA to Factory Defaults (Front Panel)

Once the PSA is configured, the configuration settings are retained in memory unless they are manually reset to factory defaults through the front panel of the PSA. This procedure will reset the PSA to its factory defaults. All configuration information will be lost, including network settings, queues, and any firmware upgrades. The administrator account name and password will be reset to factory defaults.

Note: If the PSA is reset to factory defaults, factory-installed drivers will be restored. All other settings (including network configuration, administrator settings, printers, and user-added drivers) will be lost.

1.Make sure queues are empty and no printing activity is taking place.

2.Press the Power button on the front panel of the PSA to turn it off.

CAUTION: To prevent possible file corruption on the PSA, do not simply disconnect the power cord.
