Restoring Factory Default Settings

You can reset the NIC to its factory default settings. This
means that the NIC clears data such as names and IP
addresses. It does not lose its serial number or Network
Address. If you have changed the printer's name, it will
revert to its default name.
note:
You should restore factory defaults when the
printer is moved to a different network.
To reset the NIC to factory default settings
• Go to the Network Administration Page and click
Factory Defaults in the System column. You will need
to enter a password (the default is sysadm). Turn the
printer off, wait 10 seconds, then turn it on. (The
Network Administration Page is described beginning on
page 62, passwords are explained on page 63.)

NIC Status Lights

When the NIC is installed, its two status lights, amber and
green, are located on the interface panel on the back of the
printer. Light patterns for normal operation are
Green light is on solid: This shows normal operation
while the printer is awaiting print jobs.
Amber light blinks continuously: This shows that the
NIC is receiving a print job.
Green light blinks 3 times and stays on: This occurs
when the printer has performed a successful self-test. It
then prints a Network Settings page.
Light patterns that identify error conditions are
described on page 97.
