Resetting The Printer - Tektronix PHASER 240 User Manual

Resetting the printer

The Reset Printer (RESET.PS) file resets the printer to its power-on conditions
(not its factory default conditions), without turning the printer's power
switch off and on. The power-on conditions include any custom changes
made to the printer that are stored in the printer's NVRAM, or changes that
are persistent across printer power cycles. For example, if you used a
downloadable utility file to change the printer's name, or set a color
correction, these are power-on conditions that are not altered by resetting the
printer. Resetting the printer erases changes that are not persistent across
printer power cycles, such as the Tektronix error handler utility and
downloaded fonts.
This file restarts the printer as soon as all the jobs in its queue are finished.
The printer remains unavailable while it initializes.
Use the utility files for your computer type.
