Brother Customer Service provided instructions for factory reset: 1. Turn printer off 2. Hold down button on front panel (HL-730 has only one button) 3. While continuing to hold down the button turn the printer on and wait until the drum light comes on. 4. Release the button then hold it down again until the drum light comes on again. When this occurs release the button and the printer is reset.
I have no idea whether this is specific to the HL-730 or to many models of Brother printers - I added the parenthetical remark that the HL-730 has only one button. I had tried to contact customer service without success prior to my initial posting. When none of the suggestions worked I tried again and got a response on the next business day. Either I made an error in my initial enquiry or I was lucky this time to get someone who knew how to factory reset a 10 year old printer.
