How to Reset Lexmark Printer (4 Easy Methods)

-

 


The easiest way to reset a Lexmark printer is by following these steps: 

           Turn off your Lexmark printer. 

  • Hold down the reset button combination, which includes two to three buttons. On touchscreen models, you can go to Settings > Devices > Restore Factory Defaults until Restore Factory Defaults appears on the screen. 
  • Then, release the buttons, and the printer finishes printing. Finally, it will come back to its original state. 

However, a single reset method won’t work for all problems. Hence, there are four main types of reset methods for a Lexmark printer. 

Method 1: Soft reset (power cycle) 

  • Turn off your printer using the power button. 
  • Disconnect it from the wall by gently pulling the cord. 
  • Wait 60 seconds, then plug it back in and turn it on. 

Method 2: Factory reset on touchscreen models 

  • Tap Settings from the home screen. 
  • Tap Device and then tap Restore Factory Defaults. 
  • Select Restore Settings, then choose specific setting groups or “Restore All Settings” to reset everything at once. 
  • Finally, tap the Restore button and let the printer restart. 

Method 3: Factory reset on non-touchscreen models 

  • For printers with numeric keypad panels: Power off the printer, press 2 and 6 together while powering on the printer. Some models respond with "#" and "6." 
  • For printers with three-button panels and no keypad: Power off the printer, hold Menu > Go and Select together while powering it back on. Release when “Restore Factory Defaults” appears. 

Method 4: Reset remotely via the embedded web server 

  • Print a network setup page from your printer’s menu to check its current IP address. 
  • Enter the IP address into a web browser, and log in with your admin credentials or the default PIN. 
  • Go to Settings > Device > Restore Factory Defaults. 
  • Finally, select the settings to restore and confirm.
