2. Open the Service menu.
3. Select the Restore defaults item, and then press the OK button.
   The product automatically restarts.

NVRAM initialization

CAUTION:
All HP Jetdirect settings are also reset. Be sure to print a configuration page before performing an NVRAM initialization. Make note of the IP address that is listed on the Jetdirect configuration page. You need to restore the IP address after performing an NVRAM initialization.

An NVRAM initialization erases all data stored in the unprotected NVRAM sections. Performing an NVRAM initialization resets the following settings and information:

4. When the product has finished the NVRAM initialization, it returns to the Ready state.

Super NVRAM initialization
