@VN17, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your HP Laser jet Pro MFP281 factory reset!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Just a heads-up—this will restore all printer and network settings to default, but it won’t affect the page count or tray size. Also, if you have any stored pages in memory, they’ll be deleted.
Here’s how you can do it:
- On your printer’s Home screen, swipe until you see the Setup menu, then tap on it.
- Scroll down and select Service.
- Find and tap Restore Defaults, then confirm by selecting OK.
- Your printer will restart automatically, and it’ll be back to its factory settings.
Let me know if you run into any issues—I’m here to help! 😊
Take care, and have an amazing day!
