Power saver problems and sensor errors

	Power saver problems and sensor errors by rselby (8/27/08 5:49 AM) reply	+ / -
I tried the following to rid myself of the sensor errors and other errors; for the most part it works great except for a few problems. One when I print a project it prints the first project fine, but if I try to print another project without restarting the computer it will not print. Second when it goes into power saving mode it will not come out unless it is restarted. Now one thing per the instructions below I do not have to go through the process each time, I just have to reboot and it will print the first print job but that is it. Here are the instructions I speak of above, they do work on this Oki C5500. FORCE OKI C5500 to keep going (without opening and closing the lid constantly) in spite of toner cartridge & drum life messages: 1) Turn off printer. 2) Hold down "+" and "-" buttons at the same time, and keep them held down while turning printer back on... continue to hold until the word "OKIUSER" appears. 3) Use "-" button to scroll down to "FUSE KEEP MODE". 4) Press "Enter" button, hold for approx. 10 seconds, then release. 5) Press "Enter" button again, followed by rapid release and repress with hold for approx. 10 seconds. 6) Release "Enter" button, then press and let up one more time quickly. 7) You will see "INITIALING" and then "ONLINE" messages. If you currently have an error message for toner cartridge life, the message will continue to be shown until after you've sent one print job, and then it will usually disappear for awhile. It will stay gone for longer if you have your printer set up so the toner sensor is turned off. If you currently have a error message for drum life, it will continue to appear, but you will still be able to print. Beware that you will have to keep a closer eye on print quality (since you are no longer relying on error message to tell you when your toner cartridges are in need of a replacement or refill, or the drum truly needs to be changed or refurbished). Please note that anytime you turn the printer off, you will have to go through the whole process again when you turn it back on. It doesn't take long though, and will quickly become habit whenever turning on your printer for the day!
