IMPORTANT
(MFC-J491DW/MFC-J497DW)

When you reset the machine, your faxes that are stored in the machine's memory may be deleted. Before you reset the machine, you can transfer your faxes to your computer or another fax machine so you will not lose any important messages.

The following reset functions are available:

  1. [Machine Reset]

    You can reset all the machine’s settings that you have changed, such as Date and Time and Ring Delay.

    The Address Book, Fax Reports, and Call History will remain. (MFC models)

  2. [Network]

    Reset the print server back to its default factory settings (includes Password and IP Address information).

  3. [Address Book & Fax] (MFC models)

    Address Book & Fax resets the following settings:

    • Address Book and Setup Groups
    • Programmed fax jobs in the memory (MFC-J890DW/MFC-J895DW)

      Delayed Fax and Delayed Batch Transmission

    • Station ID

      Name and Number

    • Remote Fax Options (MFC-J890DW/MFC-J895DW)
    • Report

      Transmission Verification Report, Address Book and Fax Journal
