Power off the printer. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the wall outlet.
Wait for 30 seconds. This allows any residual power to discharge from the printer.
Reconnect the power cord. Plug the power cord back into the printer and the wall outlet.
Turn on the printer. Press the power button on the printer to turn it on.
Wait for the printer to initialize. The printer may go through a series of initialization processes, which may take a few minutes.
Access the printer's settings menu. The specific method for accessing the settings menu may vary depending on your printer model. Consult the printer's user manual for detailed instructions.
Navigate to the "Reset" or "Factory Defaults" option. Once you're in the settings menu, locate the option for resetting the printer or restoring factory defaults.
Confirm the reset. Some printers may require you to confirm the reset before proceeding. Carefully read any prompts and warnings before confirming the reset.
Wait for the reset to complete. The printer may go through a reset process, which may take a few minutes. Do not interrupt the reset process.
Test the printer. Once the reset is complete, try printing a test page to ensure the printer is functioning properly.
