OKI C5800dn Laser Printer - Page 8 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Assuming you are using MS Windows then install FoxIT pdf reader which allows command line printing on Windows. Go to http://www.foxitsoftware.com/ to get it. Make sure your OKI printer is the default.Once installed you can print using the command, from my dusty memory -Reader.exe /p MyFile.pdfI don't use Windows any longer, now exclusively Linux, so I might be mistaken.Cheers, Martin

use a different cable

try feeding paper on the manual feed, if it picks it up, its just a setting when you when to print.

We had a number of these. On the LXMC logic board is TR5. OEM is marked B882. It's a power transistor. Replacement is NTE264. Solves the problem and also solves some cases where space motor seems weak even though it is known good.

Yes, well I can´t help you to solve that problem and in fact i´m hoping that you´ve already solven it, cuz right now i got the same problem with my c3450... It worked just fine under vista x64 but now on windows 7 x64 i have the same problem as you have/had!
Cheers

Most 900 series codes are fuser related and you will need to replace the fuser unit to get rid of that code. what model do you have? The fuser codes are nomally 980 or 904. not 984. Verify that code please.

first open the cartridge access door and look inside the printer is there any toner dust or not? then manually inspect the optical white fiber hole is clean or not.and finally inspect is there any cartridge detection chip if yes then replace the chip your problem will be solved.

The baud rate is automatically set by the machine when it connects to the remote machine. The machines start at the highest speed and drop down until both machines can send/receive without any errors then they send the pages. You can not manually set the speed.Buddymc

Hi my reply was too long heres the second half..and ill retype the first as a commentTry printing lighter prints, heavy toner saturation causes paper to stick to fusers and try to keep leading edge of print blank with no big blobs of colour for the same reason, ensure page sizes are set correctly in driver and machine tray settings and dont print outside margins , if you are about to print outside margins your printer driver should warn you, dont click ok if it doesHere is your user manual for your oki. and a link to oki print drivers to suit 610Here is a link to Magic touch Australia that i thought has some good info re transfer paper useEnsure your printer works ok with plain paper so we know it aint a printer fault but I'd say it due to how we are feeding the paper and how we have the paper type set and not feeding out the rear as I also think we should be.Oki does the best colour prints nice and glossy, I dont think many come close to such great colour prints in fact I only like Oki and Kyocera stuff in Colour toner laser machines. Stear clear of cheap non oki toners and supplies because they cause heaps of issues and wreck printers and give many print quality issues, I dont work for OKI directly just telling you how it is in the field ;)Let me know if you need more help and how you goCheersSteve

You are doing the absolute worst thing possible: you are trying to print on a medium that is specifically forbidden. This is why : the printer is a laser model, in it the ink is a dust that is baked in the paper with a lot of heat; the transfer paper is a special type of paper that absorbs liquid (not dust) ink in it and releases it when heated; the result is that not only the ink dust doesn't catches on the paper but the little that does gets lost when the paper is heated inside the printer, messing everything in there. This is why it is totally forbidden to print transfer paper in anything other than an inkjet printer - and especially forbidden for a laser printer like yours.
So not only it will never work properly but every time you try that you damage a little more the printer. The only way you can do the job is to buy a simple and cheap inkjet printer (less than $50 at every pc shop) and use it just for that.

go to control panel -- device manager ..-- Printers
and remove the printer Right click ---Uninstall

Disconnect and conect the USB cable

This caused by not having the correct printer font. The font used on screnn is not the same as the ones used for printer.
Most cmmon fonts include both versions automatically. You may check your printer setting from the control panel, printers, find you printer, and right click it, choose Print Preferences. From the Layout tab, go to advanced settings, then find the TrueType line. Click on it and a drop down box will be available, choose Download as soft Font.

Yours may not be exactly the same, but look around for similar setting, and hopefully, this wil fix the problem

Please check the settings in your printer that you have selected correct paper type and tray from which you are printing. Also while giving print command make sure paper size is same.

Try to reset your Printer. Turn it off for 3 min then turn it on again. Or try to unplug the power cable.

Assuming it is not a problem with ink or toner feed, the normal printer does not determine internally the colors but only follows instructions from the application (program) you are using.

If a test page from the printer shows the correct color or color balance, then you will have to do the color correction from the program that is controlling the printer.

Carefully read of the application's features and the variables possible from within the program itself.

BTW, the paper stock you are using and its absorption characteristics can also influence color saturation too.

Also, it is helpful if you include brand name and model number of the device for which you are requesting help.

Hi,


Welcome to Fixya. Service Call 980 This error refers to the Fuser unit

- Media coiling error to the Fuser

- Media is coiled to the Fuser

- Turn off the power supply

- Replace Fuser

It means that the Fuser of your unit needs to be replaced. If you still have warranty with OKI you can ask them to repair the unit if none then you need to bring the unit to a Service Center for the Fuser to be replaced.
