Description: Setting this value to 'powerCycleReset', 'resetToNVRAM', or 'resetToFactoryDefaults' will result in the resetting of the printer. When read, this object will always have the value

'notResetting(3)', and a SET of the value 'notResetting' shall have no effect on the printer. Some of the defined values are optional. However, every implementation must support at least the values 'notResetting' and 'resetToNVRAM'.

What is prtGeneralReset?

This object initiates various reset operations on a printer device, such as power cycling, resetting to stored configuration, or restoring factory defaults. When read, it always returns 'notResetting'; operators write specific values to trigger reset actions during maintenance or troubleshooting.
