Resetting the printer
The Reset Printer (RESET.PS) file resets the printer to its power-on conditions 
(not its factory default conditions), without turning the printer’s power 
switch off and on.  The power-on conditions include any custom changes 
made to the printer that are stored in the printer’s NVRAM, or changes that 
are persistent across printer power cycles.  For example, if you used 
downloadable utility files to change the printer’s name or set a color 
correction, these are power-on conditions that are not altered by resetting the 
printer.  Resetting the printer erases changes that are not persistent across 
printer power cycles, such as the Tektronix error handler utility.
This file
 restarts the printer as soon as all the jobs in its queue are finished.  
The printer remains unavailable while it initializes.
