If your Oki Printer isn't printing, first ensure that the printer is turned on and that the front cover is firmly closed. Then, press the ready/insert button to check if the ready light comes on.

What to do if paper is not feeding correctly in my Oki DP-5000 Printer?
If your Oki Printer is experiencing paper feed issues, consider the following: Ensure you're using paper within the recommended thickness range of 0.07 mm - 0.23 mm. Avoid using paper that is folded, ripped, or has holes. Before loading, ensure the paper is not curled. Make sure the paper feed guide holds the paper loosely enough for easy feeding. To print on plain paper using automatic feed mode, set the paper feed switch to position 'A'; to print in manual feed mode, set it to position 'M'.
