    Before executing any reset, understanding the irreversible consequences is paramount. A full factory reset on the C258 erases all user-generated data, including address books, custom user boxes, network settings (IP address, DNS), departmental counters, and authentication credentials. It effectively returns the machine to its “out-of-the-box” state. Therefore, administrators must first perform a data backup if any settings need to be preserved. Additionally, because the reset requires entering Service Mode—a privileged area intended for trained technicians—users should be aware that improper adjustments can affect calibration and performance. With those precautions in mind, the process can proceed.
