Restoring factory default settings

If you want to keep a list of the current menu settings for reference, then print a menu settings page before restoring the factory default settings. For more information, see Printing a menu settings page .

For a more comprehensive method of restoring the printer factory default settings, see Erasing non-volatile memory .

Warning—Potential Damage:  Restoring factory defaults returns most printer settings to the original factory default settings. Exceptions include the display language, custom sizes and messages, and network/port menu settings. All downloads stored in the RAM are deleted. Downloads stored in the flash memory or in a printer hard disk are not affected.

  1. From the home screen, navigate to:

    the menu icon > Settings > General Settings > Factory Defaults > Restore Now

  2. Apply the changes.
