Problem Solving
Why does nothing happen when I tum on the printer?
The printer may not be plugged in. Check the power cord
connection to the printer and the outlet.
Why is the ALARM light on?
Check to see if:
• Paper is out.
• The paper lever is not set for the type of paper that you are using
(single sheet or continuous-form paper).
• The front cover is open.
After correcting
the alarm condition, you may have to turn the
printer off
and on again to make the ALARM light go out.
Why is the ALARM light not on when the printer is powered on
and there is no paper loaded?
• Make sure that the photosensor which detects single sheet
paper is not dirty from paper dust, (See Cleaning section, Page
2-17.)
If paper dust accumulates on the surface of this sensor, it is
possible for the sensor to
be activated, causing the printer to detect
incorrectly
that the paper has been loaded. While the printer is in
this condition it is impossible for the user to load single sheet
paper.
Why is the ALARM light flashing?
Turn the printer off and check to see if:
• The bail is open. Make sure the bail lever is towards the back
of the printer.
• The paper or ribbon is jammed.
• Something is blocking the path of the printhead.
If you are unable to rectify these problems contact your nearest
OKI service centre.
