Printer resets and power-on modes
The following sections describe the types of printer resets and power-on modes.
Cold reset
A cold reset unlocks menus that have been previously locked and returns all of the control panel
menu items (including EIO settings) to the factory defaults. However, it does not clear the values in
the service menu (such as the serial number and page counts).
NOTE Before performing a cold reset, print a menu map and a configuration page (see
Menu map and Configuration page). Use the information on the configuration page to reset
any customer-set printer configuration values that the cold reset procedure changes.
