VIA A WEB BROWSER

Because web based management requires the TCP/IP protocol for communication, any reset option you see when managing the printer 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 using the TEST button or 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 the 'Network Configuration' page or 'Properties' page.
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 press "Restore Settings" button.
