Hi,, i have an oki MC160n,, that has an error coming up after a couple of pages being printed.. it says "paper size error, reset paper (1lt) press start key" can you help me fix this please

Normally when you get an image shift it's because something went wrong in the registration section. This model has a registration roller that is driven by a clutch and solenoid. A frequent problem on this unit is that the registration solenoid will stick open and cause the print to shift on paper and it can be intermittent. You can try clean the solenoid plate, otherwise you will have to replace, the part number is 121E26000.

Hi my reply was too long heres the second half..and ill retype the first as a comment

Try printing lighter prints, heavy toner saturation causes paper to stick to fusers and try to keep leading edge of print blank with no big blobs of colour for the same reason, ensure page sizes are set correctly in driver and machine tray settings and dont print outside margins , if you are about to print outside margins your printer driver should warn you, dont click ok if it does

Here is your user manual for your oki. and a link to oki print drivers to suit 610

Here is a link to Magic touch Australia that i thought has some good info re transfer paper use

Ensure your printer works ok with plain paper so we know it aint a printer fault but I'd say it due to how we are feeding the paper and how we have the paper type set and not feeding out the rear as I also think we should be.

Oki does the best colour prints nice and glossy, I dont think many come close to such great colour prints in fact I only like Oki and Kyocera stuff in Colour toner laser machines. Stear clear of cheap non oki toners and supplies because they cause heaps of issues and wreck printers and give many print quality issues, I dont work for OKI directly just telling you how it is in the field ;)

Let me know if you need more help and how you go

Cheers

Check paper size refers to the fact your documents are for say and A4 sheet of paper but your drivers properties are set to letter size. Go into the drivers printing preferences and set the paper size to the correct value. All should work fine now.

Hi!

It seems the printer is looking for B4 size paper!Cancel the print job and make sure that the page you want to print is set to A4 or LTR depending on what size paper you use!!

Hope it helps!!

Mr Stephen You have to check paper settings at 3 places first that you are putting correct paper size in correct tray and the paper supporter is touching the paper. Secondly your documents page setup paper size. Finally go to printer properties and under paper selection you will find letter size change it to a4 Thankyou for using free solutions at yafix-ratings from your side would be appriciated.

Need to set A4 size default on the printer driver itself.
Go to Printers and Faxes / Konica Minolta 2490MF right click/ Printing preferences /
Create a "Easy Set" with a new name. Set all paper sizes to A4. Save the new settings to the new Easy Set.
Click apply.

should be o.k.

Hi Natoli3,
This could be a mis-match of paper sizes. Example, computer could be sending an A4 page to the printer. The paper size in the could be set to Letter. Ensure the 4 paper sizes match, in the computer - the document and printer driver; in the printer (change in control panel) and paper tray (adjust the physical side and length).

i changed the settings on media to rough paper & made sure all paper was to come from mp tray, but it does jam frequently, and every time it does, i need to open & re-open the front cover to get it to clear the error that appears. the error reads mismatched paper size, as there is not a custom size of small index cards of 3.5 x 5. 

mismatch occurs when printer paper settings and document page size are not the same, check document page size.check print driver settings.
