Introduction
The M228b printer is a popular choice for businesses and individuals who require a high-quality printer that is capable of handling large volumes of printing. However, over time, the printer may start experiencing issues that require resetting or clearing of certain settings to return it to factory settings or optimal performance levels. This article will walk you through the step-by-step process of resetting the M228b printer to its default factory settings.
Step 1: Turn Off the Printer
The first step in resetting the M228b printer is to turn it off completely. This means that you need to press the power button on the printer and hold it for at least five seconds until the printer shuts down. It is essential to ensure that the print head is in its default position before proceeding to the next step.
Step 2: Reset the BIOS Settings
After ensuring that the printer is off, you need to unplug the power cord from the back of the printer. Locate the BIOS jumper that is usually near the printer's memory module and set it to the "Reset" position. Wait a few seconds before setting the jumper back to its original position. This process will reset the BIOS settings to their factory default settings.
Step 3: Reset the NVRAM settings
The next step is to reset the Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) settings that control the printer's configuration parameters. To do this, power on the printer while holding down the "Reset" button. The printer should display "Performing Self-Test" on the LCD screen, and it will eventually display "Config Init" before returning to the home screen.
Step 4: Reset the Print Head
Once you have reset the BIOS and NVRAM settings, the next step is to reset the print head. To do this, hold down the "Form Feed" button while powering on the printer. The printer will then enter the calibration mode, indicated by the message "Calibrating..." on the display screen. Wait for the calibration process to complete before releasing the Form Feed button.
Step 5: Reset the Paper Size Settings
The final step in resetting the M228b printer is to reset the paper size settings. To do this, make sure that the printer is turned on, and then hold down the "Form Feed" button for about five seconds. You should then see the message "Clearing Paper Size" on the display screen. Once this process is complete, the paper size settings will be reset to their default settings.
Conclusion
Resetting the M228b printer to its default factory settings is a straightforward process that can help solve a range of issues that may be causing the printer to malfunction. By following the simple steps outlined in this article, you can easily reset your M228b printer and enjoy optimal performance levels and high-quality printing results.
