How to Reset your HP Sprocket Select
There are two ways you might need to reset your sprocket printer:
Hardware Reset
If the printer isn't responding or won't connect to your mobile device, try performing a hardware reset. Remove the
Paper Cover and press and hold the small round button near the Paper Tray until the printer turns o. The printer will
automatically restart.
When you complete a hardware reset, your personalized settings will be saved (Custom Name, Personal Color, etc.).
Factory Reset
Perform a factory reset to return to the default settings if you want to gift your sprocket to someone else. A factory
reset might also be used if Privacy is turned on for your mobile device and the device is lost. Completing a factory reset
would allow a new phone to connect. Before completing a factory reset, update your printer rmware.
You can initiate a factory reset by using the steps below. A factory reset can only be completed when the USB
charging cable is NOT connected to the printer.
1. Hold the power button for about 7 seconds total. After 3 seconds, the Status LED light will turn o to indicate
the printer is shutting down; continue to hold the Power button until the LED lights start to ash.
2. Release the power button. The LEDs will continue blinking for about 6 seconds.
3. While the LEDs are blinking, press and release the power button. The device will remain o until you power on
again.
4. Power on; the printer will be reset to factoring settings. After a factory reset, all settings are reset to factory
defaults (Custom Name, LED color, Sleep Time, Auto-O, etc.)
If you decide you do NOT want to reset the printer to factory defaults, you can abandon the reset. While the LEDs are
blinking, do not press the Power button as directed in step three above. This will also cancel the factory reset.
Note:
If you want to pair again with your device after a Factory Reset, make sure to also "forget" your device in your operating
system's Paired Devices list. Then, re-pair in the sprocket app.
Caring for your HP Sprocket Select
• Remove ngerprints, dust, and dirt from the printer using a dry microber cloth.
• Keep the Paper Cover closed to prevent dust and debris from entering the paper path.
• Update the printer rmware. Make sure your mobile device is connected to the Internet and then open the
sprocket app. Turn on the printer and connect it to the sprocket app. If there is a rmware update available, a
