Message: [QUOTE="rdkuby, post: 230150, member: 26868"] To perform a factory reset on an Okidata MB472 printer without a password, you'll need to use a combination of physical buttons and power cycling. Here's how: Steps: [LIST=1] [*][B]1. Power off the printer:[/B] Turn off the printer by pressing the power button. [*][B]2. Hold SEL and SHIFT:[/B] While the printer is off, press and hold the "SEL" (Select) and "SHIFT" buttons simultaneously on the printer's control panel. [*][B]3. Power on:[/B] While still holding down SEL and SHIFT, turn the printer back on using the power button. [*][B]4. Release buttons:[/B] Continue holding SEL and SHIFT until the display screen shows "Initializing SW". [*][B]5. Complete the reset:[/B] The printer will then reboot and display "data present". It will likely prompt you to insert paper for test prints. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the calibration process. [/LIST] This method will reset the printer to its factory default settings, effectively wiping out any custom configurations or passwords you might have previously set. Got this off of OKI's site.
