those produced with the Line Analyzer program in
Fingerprint. For more information, see the previous
procedure, "Using the Line Analyzer in Fingerprint" on

You rarely need to cold boot the PB50 printer, unless you are
upgrading the firmware. If your printer occasionally locks up,
you will want to cold boot it.
Note: The Setup menu is not affected by a cold boot. Your
printer retains all of your configuration settings after the printer
powers back up.
To reset the PB50
1 Disconnect the PB50 from power if externally powered.
2 Remove the battery from the PB50 for at least one second.
3 Insert the battery back into the PB50.
4 Reconnect external power if your PB50 is externally powered.
A cold boot reinitializes the 802.11 radio and clears the working
memory.
