Via a web browser
Because web based management requires the TCP/IP protocol for communication, any reset option you see when managing the machine with a web browser, will not reset the IP address details that are set. If you wish to totally reset all the print server parameters we recommend you reset the print server by using the BRAdmin application.
To reset the print server (excluding TCP/IP parameters) follow these steps:

1. Connect to the printer using a web browser.
2. Click Network Configuration.
3. Enter the print server password (the print server password is detailed in the user guide for the print server) if it's applicable.
4. Click the Set Default link or Reset Print Server.

Via the control panel (only for network ready models)

1. Make sure the machine is not operating, then disconnect all the cables from the machine (except power cable).
2. Press the Menu or Menu/Set key on the control panel.
3. Press up or down navigation key to select LAN or Network and press Set, Menu/Set or OK.
4. Press up or down navigation key to select Factory Reset or Network Reset and press Set, Menu/Set or OK.
5. Select Reset.
6. Select Yes.
7. The machine will re-start, re-connect cables once this is complete.
