Hi @vinayak18,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
Performing a factory reset on an HP Laser MFP 136nw printer can vary slightly depending on the model and firmware version. Here are general steps you can follow. Keep in mind that doing a factory reset will erase any customized settings on your printer, including Wi-Fi settings and print jobs in the queue. Make sure to check your printer's manual for model-specific instructions if needed.
Access the Control Panel:
- On the printer's control panel, look for the Setup or Settings button. Press it to access the menu.
Navigate to Restore Defaults:
- Use the arrow keys on the control panel to navigate through the menu options.
- Look for an option like "Restore Defaults," "Factory Reset," or "Reset All."
Confirm Reset:
- Once you've highlighted the reset option, press the OK or Select button.
- You may be prompted to confirm the action. If so, confirm that you want to restore the printer to its factory settings.
Restart the Printer:
- After confirming, the printer will likely restart to apply the changes.
Reconfigure Settings:
- After the factory reset, you'll need to reconfigure the printer settings, including Wi-Fi setup and any other custom settings you had before.
If your printer has a touchscreen display, the process might be more straightforward, as you can usually find the reset option directly in the settings menu. If you can't find the reset option on the control panel.
Remember that performing a factory reset should be done carefully, and it's essential to back up any necessary information or settings before proceeding.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
