Reset factory settings
Introduction
Use one of the following methods to restore the printer to the original settings from the factory.
NOTE: Restoring factory settings sets most of the printer settings to their factory defaults. However, some
settings are not changed, such as language, date, time, and some network conguration settings.
Method one: Reset factory settings from the printer control panel
1. From the Home screen on the printer control panel, navigate to the Settings application, and then select
the Settings icon.
2. Open the following menus:
a. General
b. Reset Factory Settings
3. Select Reset.
A verication message advises that completing the reset function might result in loss of data.
4. Select Reset to complete the process.
NOTE: The printer restarts automatically after the reset operation completes.
Method two: Reset factory settings from the HP Embedded Web Server (network-
connected printers only)
1. Find the printer IP address: From the Home screen on the printer control panel, select the Information
icon, and then select the Network icon to display the IP address or host name.
2. Open a web browser, and in the address line, type the IP address or host name exactly as it displays on the
printer control panel. Press the Enter key on the computer keyboard. The EWS opens.
NOTE: If the web browser displays a message indicating that accessing the website might not be safe,
select the option to continue to the website. Accessing this website will not harm the computer.
