Resetting your printer
Several of the procedures in this guide require you to reset the printer. There are several ways to reset the printer:
Turn the printer off, then back on again.
Use the printer's rear-panel DIP switches. Your printer may be equipped with rear-panel DIP switches, which can be used to reset the printer. See your printer's user documentation for details.
With a TCP/IP connection and a World Wide Web browser, you can use PhaserLink; see
PhaserLink Software: Your Printer's Information Link
for more information.
Use a PostScript file from the printer's network utilities software. Resetting the printer with a PostScript file
restarts the printer as soon as all the jobs in its queue are finished. You will not be able to use this method until your printer is configured on the network. For more information see the specific instructions for Macintosh, PC, and UNIX workstations, which follow.
Resetting the printer by any of these methods restores the printer to its power-on conditions (
not
its factory default conditions). The power-on conditions include any custom changes made to the printer that are stored in the printer's non-volatile memory and are therefore persistent across printer power cycles. For example, the printer's name and serial port configuration are power-on conditions that are not altered by resetting the printer.
