Basic Printer Resetting Procedure for HP Color LaserJet Pro 200 M251NW

First of all, why do you have to reset a printer? Generally, resetting your machine essentially helps improve the printing processes through refreshing it. Plus, more importantly it aids on resolving print errors and issues that users typically encounter when printing, copying or scanning. Although it is not emphasized that it can solve most of problems especially the critical ones. There are proper procedures that should be implemented for certain errors, hence not covered by simply resetting your unit.

What are the errors that it can resolve?

There are instances that after using the printer, the user can’t force the unit to turn off. While copying or scanning through the buttons on the control panel, the unit doesn’t respond to any actions. User is unable to clear the error message or warning even after performing troubleshooting procedures. Unrecognized HP 131A toner cartridges print error (although most of the time it is a cartridge related issue and not a machine fault).

Is there a risk when performing printer reset?

As far as our knowledge, there are no risks unless you executed the process properly. Furthermore, the chance to cause the printer to become damaged is absolutely minimal.

Instructions on resetting your printer are provided below:

• If the unit is currently on its operating state proceed on the next step, otherwise turn it ON through the power button.
• Let it on for at least one minute and then disconnect its power cable found at the back of the unit.
• For your safety, remove the cable as well from its source outlet and let it rest for more than 20 seconds.
• Reconnect the power cable on its port from the back afterwards.
• Then plug it back into the source outlet (don’t press any key on its control panel even the power button).
• Wait if the printer turns itself on and if not then press the power button and see if your concern has been resolved.

Important Reminder: The procedures provided above may or may not work with all HP printer models except for HP Color LaserJet Pro 200 M251NW. However, you can still use it as your guide or reference to reset your unit as long as it manufactured by HP and is a laser type.
