SOFT RESET / HARD RESET
-
Resets the printer when a problem has occurred or you want to cancel printing.
If you perform a soft reset, the printer stops the current process and deletes the
jobs in the printer memory, received print data, and the job being processed. If
you perform a hard reset, the printer cancels all the process and deletes the jobs.
To perform a soft reset, select SOFT RESET in the RESET menu, and then press
[OK].
To perform a hard reset, select SOFT RESET in the RESET menu, hold down
[OK] for 3 seconds or more to display HARD RESET, and then release the button.
IMPORTANT
•
Be sure to cancel printing from the computer before performing a soft reset.
•
When the soft reset or hard reset is performed, the data being printed and the data
being received by all the interfaces is deleted. Therefore, perform printing from the
computer again as needed.
•
If you perform a soft reset or hard reset, the data that has been already sent to the
memory are all deleted even if it is the data of other interface. If you are using the
printer on a network, be careful so that this operation does not affect the data from
other computers when resetting the printer.
•
If you perform a hard reset while the printer is receiving data, the data that has not
yet been sent to the memory will be sent after the reset. However, the data may not
be printed properly.
FORM FEED
-
When a job is canceled from the computer or the data is less than one page, the
data may remain in the printer memory, and the job may not be completed
properly. As long as the printer remains in this status, you cannot print the next job
because the printer cannot receive the next data. In this case, force the printer to
output the print data using the procedure for this item.
IMPORTANT
If you have output data, the data being printed is deleted. Print the data from the
computer again.
