Printing problem I have an OKI printer C5540 mfp, everytime I print anything it prints a second page of 1 line as follows:- 09,2,1,7,1;F11;PU202,1899DI;LB *Di;PU202,1791DI;LB *DI;PU202,1682DI;LB *DI;PU2 Where I have put * in the above it is actually a heart symbol in the line. (can't find that symbol on my keyboard) Any help please it is such a waste of paper!!

Try performing a stop test. Send a test page and turn it off mid print. Retrieve the page from the printer to see if the image is readable before it went through the fuser. If so the the fuser may need to be replaced.

you must choose the thickest media type possible at the printer and on the pc. your fuser is not fusing properly causing toner to goo on the roller, changing to thick paper increases temp and slows printing to ensure bonding. some coated papers do not work well with OKI printers. you should check mnf website for specs and recommended papers types

If text did not line up as planned, your TOF ( top of forms adjustment ) isn't correct. Just correct it using the button on the panel. If after printing 1 page or so and then it begins to go out of place, most probably you hv set the page lenght incorrectly. To correct, enter the MENU on the panel and set the correct page length.
Lastly if printing garbage, most probably you have selected the wrong emulation on the MENU. Correct by entering MENU mode ( press ' SHIFT+MENU ' button together ) and select the correct emulation.

Hope this helps.

I had a computer experiencing the same problem.
I found under the printer properties that there was 2 drivers listed; both say "Dell Laser MFP 1600n PCL 6"
I swtiched the settings from one to the other.
The Printing Preferences also show more options.

• Open the Printer(Control Panel->Printers>Dell MFP 1600n)
• On the menu at the top click Printer->Properties
• Click the tab at the top Labeled Advanced
• Change the driver and Click Apply

This should fix your problem.

The types of printers that you have actually should be assigned to a free port, you cant setup 2 printers on the same port. check at the back of the printer the physical attachment of two printers the OKI and the Epson, if Oki is set to lpt1 then assign port from printer properties for oki to lpt1, and lpt2 on epson. 1 printer- 1 port, so by then check if the box for enable bidirectional support is check, remove the check mark from the box by clicking on it then hit apply then try printing a test page then try printing from application.

My informed guess without seeing print sample is that your oki needs fuser unit replaced. Look at orange rollers should br smooth no wrinkles.

If the optics are clean (use lint free cloth on 4 rows of black thingys underside of lid)

 

Then it sounds like the yellow drum needs to be replaced, when printing in word I'm guessing that you have it set to B/W prints hence no colour is engaged, no lines

Hey Danzo, This error is usually caused by dirt (usually toner) on the laser lens. There should be a cleaner pad somewhere on your machine (though I am not totally familiar with Oki) that will wipe across the lens. If there is no pad, you may have to find access to the lens and wipe it manually with a tissue or similar
