Whoops I misread your printer model as M277 not M227.

 

Try page 130 of the User Guide for performing a Factory Reset of the M227:

Restore the factory-set defaults

Restoring the factory-set defaults returns all of the printer and network settings to the factory defaults. It

will not reset the page count, or tray size. To restore the printer to the factory-default settings, follow these

steps.

CAUTION: Restoring the factory-set defaults returns all of the settings to the factory defaults, and it also

 

deletes any pages that are stored in the memory.

NOTE: The steps vary according to the type of control panel.

 

1. 2-line control panels: On the printer control panel, press the button.

Touchscreen control panels: From the Home screen on the printer control panel, swipe until the Setup

menu displays. Touch the Setup icon to open the menu.

2. Open the following menus:

Service

Restore Defaults

3. Touch or press the OK button.

 

The printer automatically restarts.
