Getting Fatal error 020 on my Okidata 7300 printer. How do I fix.

This code relates to a fatal error with the ROM. You may want to contact Oki # 800-634-0089 and see if they are willing to help.

First of all unplug the printer from the mains (safety first). Get the toner out again and check for dirt on the contacts. Also check the contacts inside the printer itself.

In case of a problem or clarification, don't hesitate to post me a reply.

error codes above.

Your printer display or status monitor may read "Fatal Error". This simply means a problem has occurred requiring action to clear.
A "Fatal Error" does not mean your printer will "die". Fatal Error explanations are not usually found in the User's Guide or Handy Reference Guide.

RECOMMENDED NEXT STEP: First, try turning off your printer then turning it back on. If this does not clear the message or remedy the problem, check to see if your printer is on a power strip (or not plugged directly into the wall). For testing purposes, be sure the printer is plugged directly into the wall. Often, the issue is power-related.

Second, if the issue persists after this, write down the message (including the 3-digit error code number) and email us at "[email protected]" or call Oki Data Customer Support (1-800-654-3282) for assistance.

NOTE: If you see a series of letters and numbers(scrolling across the display) after the 3-digit error code, be sure to write these down also and report them when call or emailing Customer Support.

That is a control board error.
i dont think that it would be hard to change out.
but the board price may deter you from fixing it. Considering it about 5 or 6 years old.
here is a list of parts for your printer. I cant find prices for it . you can call Okidata for it.
