Hi @Caliliz,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

To reset your HP Envy 6400 series printer to its factory settings, follow these steps:

1. Perform a Basic Reset

  • Ensure the printer is powered on.
  • On the printer’s control panel or touchscreen, find and press the Setup or Settings button. This is usually represented by a gear icon.
  • Use the arrow keys or touchscreen to navigate to Printer Maintenance or Tools.
  • Look for an option such as Restore Defaults, Reset, or Factory Reset.
  • Select this option to begin the reset process.
  • Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm that you want to restore factory settings. The printer may reboot during this process.

2. Perform a Power Reset

If the above method doesn’t work or the printer is unresponsive:

  • Press the power button to turn off the printer.
  • Disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer and from the electrical outlet.

Wait:

  • Leave the printer unplugged for about 1-2 minutes.

Reconnect and Power On:

  • Plug the power cord back into the electrical outlet and the printer.
  • Turn on the printer.

3. Use HP Smart App for Reset

If you have the HP Smart app installed:

  • Launch the HP Smart app on your computer or mobile device.
  • Choose the HP Envy 6400 printer from the list of devices.
  • Go to the Printer Settings or Advanced Settings.
  • Look for an option to Restore Factory Defaults or similar, and follow the prompts to reset the printer.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
