I've followed everything but as for Pin it keeps saying invalid. I copy it off my printer and it continues to say invalid Pin

PIN is a different animal -- Yes, you need to be able to get to the EWS sections to affect changes.

 

The only thing I can suggest is that you see if the Printer Control Panel will let you get to the Print Quality tools.

 

The user manual might include where / how to manage the Printer Control Panel options.

 

There is a factory Reset -- again, though, to issue such in EWS, you have to have access to EWS.

 

I will forward your question about the PIN to our Moderators -

Should there be a response, look for a message here before the agent uses other methods to contact you.
