Resetting the printer

The Reset Printer (RESET.PS) file resets the printer to its power-on conditions (not its factory default conditions), without turning the printer’s power switch off and on. The power-on conditions include any custom changes made to the printer that are stored in the printer’s NVRAM, or changes that are persistent across printer power cycles. For example, if you used a downloadable utility file to change the printer’s name, or set a color correction, these are power-on conditions that are not altered by resetting the printer. Resetting the printer erases changes that are not persistent across printer power cycles, such as the Tektronix error handler utility and downloaded fonts.

This file restarts the printer as soon as all the jobs in its queue are finished.

The printer remains unavailable while it initializes.

Use the utility files for your computer type.
