I have a blue screen with error 8AF30001. I need factory reset instructions I think.

I reviewed your post and I understand that you want to perform a factory reset on the printer.

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

I recommend you follow the below steps and check if it helps.

1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. 
2. Remove USB cable, if present. 
3. Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge. 
4. Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer. 
5. Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle.

Follow the below steps to restore the factory defaults.

1. From the printer control panel, touch or swipe down the tab at the top of the screen to open the Dashboard, and then touch (Setup).

2. Touch Printer Maintenance.

3. Touch Restore.

4. Touch Restore Factory Defaults. A message appears stating that the factory defaults will be restored.

5. Touch Continue.

Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!
