Service menu (service PIN codes)

Authorized HP service technicians can use this menu to gain access to printer settings that are reserved for service personnel. The service menu is protected by use of a personal identification number (PIN). When you select SERVICE from the list of menus, you are prompted to type an eight-digit PIN code.

Note

 

The printer automatically exits the service menu after about one minute if no menu items are

 

 

selected or changed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use the PIN code 11420002 for the HP LaserJet 4200 product and the PIN code 11430002

 

for the HP LaserJet 4300 product.

When you perform a cold reset (see “Cold reset” on page 251) or restore factory settings (see “Resets submenu” on page 247).

When you replace a formatter in a country/region that uses A4 as the standard paper size, use this item to reset the default paper size to A4. Letter and A4 are the only cold reset values available.
