How do I print a configuration page on an HL-1240

On the HL-5140, you can print out a config page which will show the page count on it by pressing down the Go button (the blue button). Hold it for a few seconds, until the config page starts to print out.

Hi,

1. Enter the printer's Configuration Menu. To do this:
2. Turn off the printer.
3. Open the front cover
   
4. Press and hold the Continue () button.
5. With the front cover open and the Continue button pressed down, power on the printer.
6. Hold the Continue button until all the lights cycle.
7. When just the Error light (!) is displayed, close the front cover. The top four lights of the operator panel should come on, indicating that the printer is in configuration mode.
   
8. Print the Configuration Settings page. To do this:
   
   • Press and hold the Continue () button until all of the lights flash. This page lists the functions within the Configuration Menu. The functions are the non·indented items listed along the left edge of the page (along the bottom as printed from printer). They are also unshaded.
     
     Save this page for possible later use.
     
9. Reset the photoconductor page count as follows:
10. Press and release the Cancel button () to move sequentially from one menu item to another. NOTE: If you get lost, you can press and hold the Cancel button to jump to home state (top four lights on).
11. Press and release the Cancel button until the Toner Low () light is the only light left on.
12. Press and hold the Continue button until all of the lights flash.
13. Then release the button. When the Toner Low light is once again the only light left on, the photoconductor page count should be reset to zero.
    
14. Return the printer to normal mode. To do this:
    
    • Power it off for five seconds and then turn it back on.
      
15. Print a menu settings page. To do this:
    
    • When the Ready () light is on, press the Continue button once. The Ready light will begin flashing and one or two pages will print out.
      
16. Check the photoconductor reading on the menu settings page. To do this:
17. Look for a section labeled Cartridge Information and locate the word Photoconductor under that heading.
18. Confirm that the photoconductor level reading is OK or close to 100%.
19. If the photoconductor reading is low, try printing 10 - 20 pages.
20. Print the menu settings page(s) again. Confirm that the photoconductor level reading is OK or close to 100%.
21. If the photoconductor reading is still low, refer to the Configuration Settings page you printed in Step 2.
22. Confirm that Reset Photoconductor Counter is listed on the page.
    Also confirm that the light sequence for the photoconductor counter is the Toner Low light.
    • If the light sequence is correct, try repeating this entire procedure again from the beginning to reset the counter once more.
    • If a different light sequence is listed for the photoconductor counter, repeat the procedure but this time, instead of stopping at the Toner Low light (Step 3.2), press the Cancel button until the operator panel shows the light sequence that corresponds to the one listed on the Configuration Settings page. Continue with the remainder of the procedure as before to reset the counter again.
23. If the photoconductor reading is still low after the page reset procedure has been performed twice, the printer may require service.

Resetting or reinitializing the network card's NVRAM will clear all TCP/IP configuration information. To have a record of this information, it is recommended that you print a network settings page prior to performing the reset procedure. Press to print both printer and network settings pages.

1. Turn the printer off.
2. Press the left front cover release button and pull the front door down.
3. Press and hold while powering the printer On.
4. Release when the LED is illuminated. NOTE: Be patient as the LEDs will light up in multiple patterns before finally stopping at
5. Close the front cover. NOTE: Observe that the , , and LEDs will be illuminated at the same time. This is known as the Home position.
   OPTION: Have the customer hold down to print a "Printer Diagnostics" menu page.
6. Slowly press the button until the , , and LEDs are illuminated. NOTE: Normally, this will require you to press the button 11 to 13 times, depending on the options and features installed.
7. Press and hold until all LEDs flash or strobe from left to right, then release the button. Wait until this process stops with a pattern of three LEDs that should resemble the Step 6 pattern.
8. Press and hold until the light pattern returns to the pattern of four LEDs in Step 5 or theHome position.
9. Turn the printer Off.
10. Turn the printer On.
    NOTE: If on a DHCP network, wait 30 seconds to see if the DHCP server/router sends out an IP address to the device. A settings page will automatically print if this is successful. A longer wait may be required on other networks.
11. Press to print the settings pages and observe that all the TCP/IP settings have been reset.
12. Reconfigure the device using DHCP, Auto IP (zero configuration) or the IP Setup Utility.

Hope this helps.
