Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

Error 400 typically occurs when the printer fails to establish a stable 'handshake' with the network or PC. Confirm if it is a network issue by checking the Ethernet link lights or testing the printer via a direct USB connection.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power Cycle: Turn off the printer and unplug the power cable for 60 seconds to clear the internal buffer.
  2. Check Cables: Ensure the USB or Ethernet cable is securely seated and shows no signs of physical wear or crimping.
  3. Restart Print Spooler: In Windows, access 'Services', locate 'Print Spooler', right-click it, and select 'Restart'.
  4. Update Drivers: Download and install the latest printer driver from the official OKI support site to ensure compatibility.

Prevención y mantenimiento

  • High-Quality Cables: Use shielded USB 2.0 cables or Cat6 Ethernet cables to minimize electromagnetic interference.
  • Static IP: Assign a static IP address to the printer when connected to a local network to avoid DHCP address conflicts.
  • Proper Shutdown: Always use the front power button to turn off the unit instead of cutting power abruptly.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error 400 persists after troubleshooting the spooler and checking cables, the internal Network Interface Card (NIC) or the printer port may be faulty, requiring professional repair.
