How do I Fix an Error 53 on an Okidata Printer?


1. Look at the Error 53 message. It should say the following: 'Runtime error '53': File not found (DLLFileName.dll).' Write down the 'DLLFileName.dll' on a piece of paper so you don't forget.
2. Click the 'Start' menu and type the DLL file name (with the .DLL extension) in the search bar. Let Windows locate the DLL file.
3. Right-click the DLL file and select 'Copy.'
4. Click the 'Start' menu and select 'Run...'
5. Type the following (without the quotes) 'C:\Windows\System32' and press the 'Enter' key. This assumes that your Windows operating system is installed on your 'C:\ drive.' This will open a new Windows explorer window for your System32 folder.
6. Right-click on an empty area within the folder and select 'Paste' to manually copy the missing DLL file.
7. Close the windows. Restart your computer to end the task.
