Cold Reset

The Cold Reset feature of the printers allows the printer to be returned instantly to the factory default configuration settings. This feature is valuable because the the Dynamic I/O and PJL features of the printer enable any user connected to any I/O to access and change the default configuration as applications require. When setting up the printer in a new location, or when troubleshooting printer problems, always perform the Cold Reset before entering the selected user defaults. A Cold Reset can not reset the page count, cold reset tray size, or display language settings. If the Control Panel is locked, a Cold Reset will disable the lock and return the printer to the factory defaults. Inform the system administrator of all Cold Resets.

A Cold Reset is performed as follows:

1 Turn OFF the printer.

2 Hold the [On-Line](or Go for the LJ5) key down while powering ON the printer.

3 The message COLD RESET is displayed. The COLD RESET does not take effect until the 00 READY message is displayed.

4 When the 00 READY message is displayed, the default settings have been returned to the factory defaults and the printer is ready to accept new settings.
