Normal 0 Driver could be corrupt.
Disconnect the printer or at least be sure it is turned off. I'd do both and reinstall the CD software program that came with the printer. When the software program asks you to connect the printer to the USB port, do so and it should again work properly.
Hope this helps. Bud

It usually resets automatically when you replace the drum/toner units. Are you trying to get it to reset before it's supposed to? I don't know of any way you can do that.

SOURCE: does anyone know what is

If you look on top of the fuser roller(upper orange roller), there is a thermistor (orange rectangle plastic that rides on the roller) you will see four wires going into that housing. Two are for the thermistor and the other two is for the fuse that is built into the housing. You would have to use a soldering iron to melt the plastic that the fuse is sitting in. You would have to figure out what to use as a fast blow fuse.

Okidata makes it difficult to take out the thermistor because the nut is locktite on the screw. Try using the soldering iron to melt it. Just make sure you dont damage the thermistor.

Fatal Error 121

Hi and welcome to Fixya!
"Fatal Error" on your printer display or status monitor simply means a problem has occurred requiring action to clear. Fatal Error explanations are not usually found in the manual. You can check the list of error codes from the link below:
http://www.c8600.co.uk/index.asp?printername=C8600&menumode=0&content=errorcodes
RECOMMENDED STEPS:
First, try turning off your printer then turning it back on. If you're still getting the same error message, make sure the printer is plugged directly into the wall. Often, the issue is power-related.
If the problem persists, write down the message including the 3-digit error code number and send an email to "[email protected]" or call Oki Data Customer Support (1-800-654-3282) for assistance.
NOTE: If you see a series of letters and numbers scrolling across the display after the 3-digit error code, write it down and report them when calling or emailing Customer Support.

Error code: 173
This error code means that the fuser temperature is low. You need to replace either the fuser or the thermistor inside the fuser.

Error message: Service Call 980 - Fatal Error

It means a call to OKI will be necessary. Typically, fatal errors are related to internal ROM, or board components that effect the boot process of the printer. When it can't boot - you get this type of message.

My OKI printer is giving me a message which reads, "Service Call 106: Fatal Error".

YYYY
106: FATAL ERROR
An error has
occurred which
requires service.
YYYY = the general
cause. 106 = error
number.
Try turning off the
printer then turning it
back on. If this does
not remedy the
problem, write down
the message including
the error number
“106,” then call your
authorized Oki Data
Service Dealer for
service.
Note: If you see a
series of octets
containing letters and
numbers scrolling
across the display, be
sure to write these
down also and report
them to the Service

Fuser error. Replace fuser or if no-go, Main board.
