    Hp 4000 - how to get out of demo mode

    Does anyone know how to get out of demo mode with the HP 4000 series printers? This mode is for store displays so the customers can print demo pages. The info is not in the service manual and Cold Reset does not reset it.
    It's how you deal with failure that determines how you achieve success.

    What have you been doing, prntrfxr, trying out all the buttons?

    So you're saying that customers can store images on the DIMM for later retrieval? =^..^=

    Do yourself a favor. Buy a manual and read up on your problem before posting. I enjoy helping those that are willing to help themselves. =^..^=

    I have not heard of this on a 4000, does it have a eprom in one of the slots?

    If a cold reset did not work I would suspect a demo eprom.

    Just a thought, let me know.

    Hp 4000 - how to get out of demo mode

    yeah ... well its a tech buddy of mine. He had a customer printer that was a demo model originally (they got it cheap). They've been using the thing for years but its always had the word demo in the display and options to print several different demo pages from the menu. He said it wasn't critical, but you know I've never had this before and it really bugs me when I can't figure something out. (It's a perfectionist thing, I can't explain it) I'll mention what you said Rob, maybe we'll find the answer someday. I found info for HP 5, which is to press and hold GO and SELECT at the same time while powering up. We're going to try that and see if it works. I'll keep you updated.
