Mp161 prints half page - Ricoh Aficio MP 161 Black and White Copier

Printing half a page with an Inkjet machine is not normally a computer issue. So windows 10 would not normally have any effect on the printing for a printer that has been accepted by the Windows 10 Operating System. If there was an issue in the software it would be printing gibberish or not printing at all.

Printing half a page is quite possably something stuck in the printer stopping the ink from getting to that half a page if it is printing down once side but not the other.
Printing half a page being that the top half is printed but not the bottom half (Or the other way around) it could be an air bubble in the feed line which can be cleared with a printhead clean or two.
Printing half a line rather than a full line such as the top half of each letter is clear but the bottom half of each letter is not visable is a blocked printhead. A couple of printhead cleans can also fix this.
Also check to see if the printer is not confused and actually has empty cartridges even if the printer thinks they are full. Brother printers can easily get confused about ink levels. If the cartridges are actually empty, replace them and away it should go again.

Hope that helps

make, model? i'm guessing that the toner (printer is of the laser type?) is running low. temporary fix, remove toner cartridge & gently shake to spread (distribute) the powder inside.

why does my printer only print half of page

my printer takes half an hour to print single page

is the image shifting ? may be registration clutch or sensor

it is normal, just mixing, continue printing, it will slowly cover the page till the entire page is printed or copied, dont worry, just reuse the half printed paper till when the pages print complete.

For understand the issue, little bit technical knowledge required: Take half test page, check how much dark image formed on paper, check on cartridge drum how much dark image created?..(half test page: while printing half of the page switch off the printer, take cartridge out as well as take half printed page)If half page print quality is good on paper: Fuser faulty(teflon sleeve)If half test page print not good & image on drum is OK: Fault with Transfer roller or its bios voltage contacts..If there is proper image on paper & image drum: Problem with laser scanner assembly..find the problem, then remedy is easy..

Hello.

Which specific brand and model ? Don't think Okidata makes an AIO model 942.

Does the printer stop after printing half a page or it the print on just half a page ?

Still under warranty ?

half page? just half top page (top-bottom), or left and right. If just left half page, set page setup as actually paper wide that inserted. because, if actually paper wide is smaller than page setup, some epson printer jsut print half. before starting printing, the paper sensor measure paper wide first.

Go to print setup try to cheeck the diffult.
