Hi All,

I just moved to UK from HK. I also bring my MFP M181fw here. I understand that Asia is using 204A, Unfortunately, I can purchase 205A in UK now. How can I change the region in the Printer? My printer is still good. I wanna keep using it.

Many Thanks.

I found solution and changed regional by myself. Printer Regional setting store in NVRAM. 

 

Here is the steps to reset NVRAM:

 

1) all 205A Toners inserted in Printer. 

 

2) Turn off Printer.

 

3)  2-line control panels: Select and hold the right-arrow (next to "OK" button)and the Cancel buttons  "X" simultaneously.

Keep them depressed as you turn the printer on.

 

4) When the Ready LED turns on, release the right- arrow button and "X" Cancel button.

 

5) The NVRAM initialization starts.

 

6) When the printer has finished the NVRAM initialization, it returns to the Ready state.

 

You can search reset NVRAM in manual on Page 215 and 216.

Good Luck mates.
