Printer shows paused what can i do to fix it - OKI B4600 Printer

If the status from the printing source writes "paused" despite the green tick, there are a few possible reasons why this may be happening:

1. Printer software: The printer software may be set to pause the print job. Check the printer software settings to see if there are any options to pause the print job.
2. Print queue: The print job may be paused in the print queue. Check the print queue on your computer or device to see if the print job is paused. If it is, try resuming the print job.
3. Paper jam: A paper jam can cause the printer to pause the print job. Check the printer for any paper jams and clear them if necessary.
4. Low ink or toner: If the printer is low on ink or toner, it may pause the print job. Check the ink or toner levels and replace them if necessary.
5. Connectivity issues: Connectivity issues between the printer and the computer or device can also cause the print job to pause. Check the connection between the printer and the computer or device and make sure it is properly established.

If you're unsure about any of these steps or are not comfortable troubleshooting the printer on your own, it's always best to contact the printer manufacturer or a professional technician for assistance. They can help diagnose and fix the problem safely and effectively.

problem with memory issue try holding the power button while unplugged then connect and power again.

Hello, sounds like your drivers are messed up, reload them to the computer or the connection cable maybe bad. If neither of these fix then the printer is bad.

I hope thisis understandable.

press PAUSE and CANCEL to reset the printer. turn off and on again.

1. Press the [PAUSE] button. The display shows the printer is in PAUSE mode.
2. Press the [PAUSE] button again. If the display shows TRANSMISSIVE then release the [PAUSE] key.
3. Press the [PAUSE] button again. Labels will now start to feed through the printhead. After 5 or 6 labels have gone through, release the [PAUSE] key.

The printer should now be on line and if you press the [FEED} key, 1 label should be fed through.

I hope thisis understandable.

Printing the "PAUSE" test will print a nice black box that will show white lines or voids for any printhead elements that are not functioning. Turn the printer off, press and hold the PAUSE key while turning on the printer. After 5-6 seconds, let go of PAUSE and let the power up self test finish.

The test label will starting printing. To stop, press PAUSE. This is also usefull for seeing the "parallelism" of the printhead by looking at the lines that print at the begining of each label. Should be the same number of lines on the left as the on the right.

Easiest way to cancel the pattern is to cycle power.

Hope that helps !

Hi

Thanks for using FIxYa. Please turn the printer off and then cancel all the print queues pending in the bottom toolbar by double clicking on the printer logo if you want to delete all the pending printing files. Now turn the printer on. If you do not want to cancel all the printing jobs then you can double click on the printer logo showing in the right side of the bottom tool bar and then right click on the printing jobs pending for printings then click on restart printing. Issue will be resolved and it will not show ‘paused status’.

Please do rate the solution and revert for further assistance.


Thanks
