Cold Reset
The Cold Reset feature of the printers allows the printer to be
returned instantly to the factory default configuration settings.
This feature is valuable because the the Dynamic I/O and PJL
features of the printer enable any user connected to any I/O to
access and change the default configuration as applications
require. When setting up the printer in a new location, or when
troubleshooting printer problems, always perform the Cold Reset
before entering the selected user defaults. A Cold Reset can not
reset the page count, cold reset tray size, or display
language settings. If the Control Panel is locked, a Cold Reset
will disable the lock and return the printer to the factory defaults.
Inform the system administrator of all Cold Resets.
A Cold Reset is performed as follows:
1 Turn OFF the printer.
2 Hold the [On-Line] (or Go for the LJ5) key down while powering
ON the printer.
3 The message COLD RESET is displayed. The COLD RESET does
not take effect until the 00 READY message is displayed.
4
When the 00 READY message is displayed, the default settings
have been returned to the factory defaults and the printer is
ready to accept new settings.
