Clearing the printer memory can resolve a variety of issues, from paper jams to incorrect printouts. In this article, we will provide step-by-step instructions on how to reset your Brother 7180DN printer and clear the printer memory.
Step 1: Turn off the Printer
The first step in resetting your Brother 7180DN printer is to turn off the printer. Locate the power button on the printer and press it to turn off the machine. Wait for the printer to completely shut down, and then unplug the power cord from the back of the printer.
Step 2: Wait Two Minutes
After turning off the printer and unplugging the power cord, it is important to wait at least two minutes before proceeding to the next step. This ensures that the printer's memory completely clears and any residual power is discharged.
Step 3: Press and Hold the Go Button
Once you have waited at least two minutes, locate the "Go" button on the printer's control panel. Press and hold the "Go" button for approximately five seconds. Release the button once the printer's "Ready" light begins to flash.
Step 4: Release the "Go" Button
After the "Ready" light begins to flash, release the "Go" button. The printer will begin to warm up and will automatically print a test page. Allow the printer to complete the warm-up process and print the test page.
Step 5: Connect the Printer to Your Computer
After the printer has finished printing the test page, it is safe to reconnect the printer to your computer. Plug the power cord back into the printer and turn on the printer. Wait for the printer to fully power up, and connect the printer to your computer using a USB cable or other appropriate connection.
Conclusion
Clearing the memory of your Brother 7180DN printer can resolve a wide range of issues and improve the overall performance of the printer.
