Super NVRAM reset1. Turn off the printer2. Turn On the Product, as soon as the HP logo appears3. Press and hold the lower right quadrant of the touchscreen, keep the quadrant depressed.4. When the ‘Permanent Storage Init.’ Message appears on the display, release the button.When the printer has finished the NVRAM initialization, it will ask to choose country and language.
