Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The error 400 appears on the display when the internal RAM buffer fails to process incoming job data. It is often specific to one document, meaning the document itself might be too complex for the current configuration.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Reboot system: Switch off the power, wait for 60 seconds, and switch it back on.
  2. Clear print queue: Ensure your computer has cleared all stuck print jobs.
  3. Check RAM modules: If you have added a RAM DIMM, ensure the contacts are clean and the card is firmly seated.
  4. Firmware update: Download the newest firmware from the OKI website to ensure optimal buffer allocation.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Update your printer driver to the latest version. For environments processing professional PDFs, installing an official OKI memory expansion card is recommended to prevent future overload alerts.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error 400 appears consistently during startup, the internal memory circuit or the motherboard may have experienced a hardware failure.
