Paper jam. I replaced the paper into the fuser and after on the display is "fatal error 980".

I am having the same error message on my oki c5800. I have looked the fuser over and found no media stuck in there. I have also tried replacing the fuser with a new one with no luck. I have tried both the new fuser and the old one from this printer in another printer and have printed fine with no error messages with both.

Do you have any other suggestions on how to clear this error?

Thank you for any advice you may be able to offer.

From the Service Manual:
*Service call
980:Error

*Error by media
clinging to the fuser

*Media has clung to the fuser.

*Power OFF
Replace the fuser unit.

Suggestion -
Before you replace the fuser, take it out and check for a piece of stuck label, paper, etc. You can spin the fuser roller by turning the gear on the side.

OKI C330dn Call Service fatal Error:980

That particular error indicates a fuser failure. Try turning off the printer and re-seating the fuser. If this does not clear the message then the fuser needs to be replaced. With such a low number of prints warranty should cover it.

Fatal Error 121

My OKI C5800LDN printer displayed the Service 121 error last night. After reading the previous solutions, and trying them with no success, I followed the instructions in the service manual, and removed the High Voltage Power Supply Board. There are four cables that plug into the board, the rest of the electrical connections are made between spring loaded fingers that make contact directly with the board when snapped into place. I used a rubber eraser to carefully polish each one of the fingers and their connections points on the circuit board. I re-installed the board, and the error is gone.

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.

A message keeps flashing up 231 fatal error. Can you let me know what I need to do. 0116 240 3430 Dorothy

231 fatal error is telling you that the data from the chip on the toner cartridge is invalid or cannot be read.

This may happen for one of the following reasons:

1)The printer is unable to read the data on toner chip because of toner dust or dirt inside the printer.
Solution: Clean the printer inside, clean toner slot and drum.. See:Clean your laser printer.

2)Either the toner is not an original cartridge, it is refurbished or refilled, or the chip on the toner cartridge is defective.
Solution: replace the toner, or replace the Chip on toner cartridge.

3)The toner sensor in your OKI is defective.
Solution: Call the support number listed on the printer manual to arrange repair.
