Does it have a control panel or buttons on the printer itself?

If so, are any of them blinking or red?

Sometimes an error will cause a pause in the printer and you have to press one of the buttons to get it to start back up again.

This is the link to the manuf. website. I did a search on your model, theres a few so i guessed. but the manuals are available along with drivers.

I suggest you go and update them and go through the PDF and see if there is anything partaining to this issue.

I went through the PDF a bit and didnt see anything partaining to the PAUSE issue but try going through and see if anything is it.

On the printer icon on the bottom right of your task bar, right click on the printer icon and see if you can select CANCEL print job, then try unpausing it. Also, power off and then power back on and see if that clears it.

You may have to un-install the printer and re-install it and update the drivers to clear it.

Sometimes a Print job will get stuck in que when theres a jam or something and it wont continue till the issue is resolved, then you open and close the top cover and that resets it, it rechecks then continues.

Good luck.

My B4600 only prints a single copy

You don't say which version of windows you are using. There is no windows 10 driver so you would be picking up a generic driver when plugging in via usb. If windows 7 or 8 then UNINSTALL (not delete) the Universal driver and install the US version 2.2.6. It wont be the printer as printers only print what they get. Its definitely a driver issue.

Okidata B4600 error message #132 on two printers. What does this error mean. The printers will not go to off line.

Error 132:
LED Head Missing, Color:Magenta

When magenta LED head connection cannot be detected

Solution:
You should first try to restart the printer.
If that doesn't resolve the problem, the ribbon cable is probably disconnected from the print head.

The led print heads are four assemblies that hang down from the lid of the machine when you open it. Make sure they are properly connected.

I have an Oki B4600. I recently replaced the drum & toner. The print is very light and part of the page is illegible.No error message is displayed. Please advise

The problem is most likely with your fuser and will need to be replaced. Contact Oki tech support and see if your printer is still under warranty, you will need to give them your printer's model number and serial number. Sometimes the cheapest solution is to replace the printer all together.

What does it mean that printer is on "pause"

This means that print jobs sent to the printer will not print untill the printer is unpaused. This setting is used mainly for maintenance purposes.

To unpause a printer
1.) Left click Start in the bottom left hand corner of the screen
2.) Left click Control Panel
3.) Now, double-click "Devices and Printers" or "Printers and Faxes"
4.) In the Window you will see your printer, double-click your printer
5.) This screen will show you active print jobs, to pause or unpause the printer click File then click "Pause printing"

Hope this helps :)
