Overview 

Resetting your Adatum printer to factory settings can help resolve various issues by restoring the printer to its original configuration. This process will erase all customized settings, so it should be used as a last resort. Follow the steps below to reset your printer. 

 

#### Steps to Reset to Factory Settings 

### Step 1: Prepare for Reset 

1. **Backup Settings** 

  • Before performing a factory reset, consider backing up any important settings or configurations you may need later. 

  • Note down any custom network settings, paper size configurations, or other preferences. 

2. **Ensure Printer is On** 

  • Make sure the printer is powered on and idle (not in the middle of printing or processing a task). 

 

### Step 2: Reset Printer via Control Panel 

1. **Access the Settings Menu** 

  • On the printer's control panel, navigate to the "Settings" or "Setup" menu. This can vary depending on your printer model. 

2. **Find the Factory Reset Option** 

  • Within the settings menu, look for options like "Restore Defaults," "Factory Reset," or "Reset All Settings." This may be located under a sub-menu such as "System," "Maintenance," or "Tools." 

3. **Confirm the Reset** 

  • Select the factory reset option and confirm your choice when prompted. The printer may ask you to confirm by selecting "Yes" or "OK." 

4. **Wait for the Reset to Complete** 

  • The printer will begin the reset process, which may take a few minutes. The printer may restart automatically once the reset is complete. 

 

### Step 3: Reconfigure the Printer 

1. **Reconfigure Network Settings** 

  • After the reset, you will need to reconnect your printer to the network. Access the network settings and follow the prompts to reconnect to your Wi-Fi network or reconfigure the Ethernet settings. 

2. **Restore Custom Settings** 

  • Reapply any custom settings or preferences you backed up before the reset, such as paper size, print quality, and other configurations. 

 

### Step 4: Test the Printer 

1. **Print a Test Page** 

  • Ensure the printer is functioning correctly by printing a test page. This will help verify that the reset was successful and that the printer is connected to the network. 

 

#### Troubleshooting 

  • **Unable to Access Settings Menu** 

  • If you are unable to access the settings menu on the control panel, refer to the printer’s user manual for model-specific instructions. 

  • **Reset Button Combination** 

  • Some Adatum printers may have a physical reset button or a combination of buttons that can be pressed to initiate a factory reset. Check the user manual or Adatum Printers Inc. [support page](#) for more information.
