Resetting a Canon printer to factory settings can vary depending on the model and features of the printer. However, here are the general steps to perform a factory reset on a Canon printer:
Please note that performing a factory reset will erase any customized settings, including network configurations, so make sure you have the necessary information to reconfigure your printer after the reset.
Turn Off the Printer: Make sure the printer is powered off.
Press and Hold Buttons: Depending on your printer model, you may need to press and hold certain buttons simultaneously. Commonly used buttons for initiating a factory reset include the "Stop" or "Cancel" button and the "Power" button.
Power On While Holding Buttons: While holding down the specified buttons, turn on the printer. Keep holding the buttons until you see some indication on the printer's display or LED lights that the reset process has started.
Navigate the Menu (if applicable): Some Canon printers have a menu interface that you can navigate using arrow keys or a display screen. If prompted, navigate to the option for "Restore Factory Settings" or a similar option.
Confirm the Reset: Once you've selected the factory reset option, the printer may ask you to confirm the action. Follow the on-screen instructions to confirm.
Wait for Reset: The printer will now initiate the factory reset process. This may take a few moments.
Power Cycle the Printer: After the reset is complete, turn off the printer and then turn it back on again.
Reconfigure Settings: After the factory reset, you'll need to reconfigure the printer's settings. This includes setting up the language, connecting to your network, and adjusting any other customized settings.
Print a Test Page: To ensure that the printer is functioning properly, print a test page to verify that the reset was successful.
