Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

If the printer is showing the 390 error code, it means data packets are not reaching the printer. If only one PC is affected, the problem is local to that connection.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Power off the printer and unplug the connection cable.
  2. Reboot the PC or server sending the print job.
  3. Try a different USB port on your PC or replace the network cable.
  4. Check your printer driver settings to ensure it is not stuck in a stalled state.

Prevention and Maintenance

Use high-quality shielded data cables to minimize interference. Regularly update printer firmware from OKI's support site for better network compatibility.

When to Call a Technician

If multiple workstations cannot connect and the error remains, the internal network card may require replacement.
