RICOH LASER AP2610N - error - SC 998

Error SC 998 on a Ricoh MP2851 printer indicates a functional problem with the printer. This error can be caused by a variety of issues, including hardware or software problems, or problems with the printer's firmware.
To troubleshoot this issue, try the following steps:

1. Restart the printer: Turn the main power switch off and then on again to see if the error message clears.
2. Check for any visible issues: Inspect the printer and its components for any visible issues that may be causing the problem. This can include debris or foreign objects that may have gotten stuck in the printer, or damage to the printer or its components.
3. Check the printer's firmware: Make sure the printer's firmware is up to date and that it is functioning properly. If the firmware is not up to date or is not functioning properly, it can cause the printer to display an error message.
4. Check the printer's connections: Make sure the printer is properly connected to any devices or computers it is being used with, and that the connections are secure. If the printer is not properly connected or the connections are loose, it can cause the printer to display an error message.

If you have tried these troubleshooting steps and the problem persists, it may be necessary to have the printer serviced by a professional. A technician will be able to diagnose the problem and determine the necessary repairs.
I hope this information is helpful. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please don't hesitate to ask.

sc998 is either a problem with an application, or the firmware that controls that application. If you have a service technician come out and update your firmware, it will most likely fix the problem.

you will need a service tech to come out and troubleshoot the SC998 error code as that is typically firmware software related beyond the scope of users without the benefit of ricoh training and experience.

Normal 0 Driver could be corrupt.
Disconnect the printer or at least be sure it is turned off. I'd do both and reinstall the CD software program that came with the printer. When the software program asks you to connect the printer to the USB port, do so and it should again work properly.
Hope this helps. Bud
