Hello,

I would like to know how to perform a full reset of my HP OfficeJet Pro 8500A Plus (CM756A) printer.

I get the error message that there is a paper jam but there has never been a paper jam. I would like to try a full reset before trying to repair it (what will probably cost me more than to buy new one).

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

 

Please try:

 

  • Turn the printer off with the front panel button 
  • Disconnect the power cord from the product, and then wait 20 seconds.
  • Press and hold # and 6 (or 9) while reconnecting the power cord.
  • Wait 10 seconds, and then release both buttons. The product resets and prints an alignment page.
