Resets Menu
Use this menu with caution. You can lose buffered page data or
printer configuration settings when you select these items. Only reset
the printer under the following circumstances:
●
You want to restore the printer’s default settings.
●
Communication between the printer and computer has been
interrupted.
●
You are using both the serial and parallel I/O ports, and one of the
ports is having problems.
The items in the Resets Menu will clear all memory in the printer,
while [Cancel Job] clears only the current job.
Note Job retention features will be deleted if you do not have the hard disk
accessory. (HP LaserJet 4050 series printer only.)
