Reset the Network Interface to Factory Defaults - Intelliprint Series

Issue / Symptom:  

The network interface may require a return to factory defaults for any of the following reasons:

  • The user may desire to return to default.
  • Certain flash code upgrades may require a reset.
  • The printer settings may become corrupted and cause errors or lockups.
  • A IP address is to be set via DHCP.

After Resetting: The IP setting will be cleared and DHCP will be enabled. If the printer is attached to the network (the cable is plugged in) and a DHCP server is active, the IP Address should set automatically- this may not be the address expected by the user.

Reset Using Test Button:

Locate the network interface connectors on the back of the printer.

  • The 10Base2 connector is removed from current versions of the NIC.
  • Depending on the printer model, the connectors may be oriented differently from the photo.
  • New printer models have the network interface integrated onto the controller, not as a separate card.
  • Locate the small hole near the network connector- the test button is inside this hole.

  • Turn the printer power off.
  • Using a paper clip, press and hold the test button.
  • Turn the printer power on.
  • When the network lights start flashing, release the test button.

Reset Via Telnet Connection:

Open a Telnet session to the printer and issue the following commands:

telnet 10.1.1.123

This address is an example.

Username> bob

The username can be any desired name.

Local_4> su

This is the superuser login.

Password> system

The password system does not show.

Local_4>> Initialize Factory

Local_4>> Init Delay 0

The connection to the printer will be lost as the network interface reboots.
