What is the SC 544 error on Ricoh machines and what is the cause of the error?
Causes of SC544 error on Ricoh photocopiers
Ricoh reports SC 544 error from the main cause of the fuser system when the fuser unit heats the ink and overheats, at this time the BCU will detect and identify the error.
Thermistor is malfunctioning or is out of position
Power supply board error
Fusing points are faulty or poorly connected
Sensor is faulty, fuse is faulty
Ways to fix SC544 error on Ricoh photocopiers
To get the Ricoh photocopier to operate normally and stably, you can apply this method to fix SC 544 error and return the machine to operating mode:
Method 1:
Step 1: Press the Clear mode button + 107 + Stop clear button and hold until the SP Mode panel appears on the screen. Then press the SP copy button displayed on the screen.
Step 2: Press the code 5810# on the keyboard of the machine —> press Execer —> turn off the machine for about 10 seconds and restart the machine
Method 2:
Step 1: Check the fuse and Sensor with a multimeter. If the fuse or Sensor is broken, the meter needle will not be clear and you need to replace the damaged part when detecting the Ricoh machine reporting error SC 544 caused by this cause.
Step 2: Then perform error clearing as in step 1
Note when fixing error SC544 on Ricoh copier
If the SC 544 error on Ricoh machine occurs due to the power source, you need to wait 10 seconds after pressing the screen buttons so that the machine has time to open to the necessary mode to reset the fuser for the printer to restart.
If you apply the above methods but it does not work. Try the following to reset the machine when Ricoh reports error SC 544:
Step 1: Remove the fuser unit to check if the silk cover is torn or not. If everything is normal, you do the next step.
Step 2: Prepare an unused thermistor to cut off a thermal probe and keep the jack. Then find a double wire or power cord. Note: one end will be connected to the thermistor jack, the other end is connected to the switch.
Step 3: Turn on the photocopier, remove the dryer to connect to the dryer and close the photocopier cover so that the reset wire is exposed to the outside, then enter the code to restore the machine
Step 4: Press the yellow Reset button + enter the code "80682" + press the Clear button (C) and hold for 10 seconds until the System SP box appears
Step 5: Find item 5810-2 (item: "Hard high Temp. Detection). Then select "Execute", then open the wire connector and the machine will notify "Complete". That means you have successfully reset.
Error SC544 often occurs on Ricoh photocopiers and is caused by the heat unit not working properly. You can fix it by checking the heat unit and replacing it if necessary.
