    What causes several sheets to go through my Oki MC160N All in One Printer together?
    • J
      Joanne RobbinsSep 23, 2025
      If several sheets go through your Oki All in One Printer together, it could be because the front edges of the media are not even; remove the media and even up the front edges, then reload it. Alternatively, the media may be moist from humidity, so remove the moist media and replace it with new, dry media.
