Pressing the button has the following results based on the length of the button press:
| 0-1 second | No action |
| 1-5 seconds | Printer reset – Printer performs a factory reset and will automatically print a configuration label (and network label if present) |
| 6-10 seconds | Network reset – Printer drops connection to the network, and a network factory default reset occurs. Upon completion of the reset, a configuration and network configuration label are automatically printed. |
