Ricoh CL4000DN Error Code SC542
Turns out error SC542 indicates a fuser temperature problem. Once
the error is detected, the printer is toast until you manually clear
the error from the keypad. Even though the printer is physically fine,
it won’t come ready until the prior error condition is cleared.
A few phone calls with our local Ricoh service rep, and he admitted that the printer might trip this error in a power brownout.
The printer was less than 30 days old and the error was caused by
the brownout or the fuser failed. I kept calling the Ricoh rep, and
they finally gave me the magic keystrokes over the phone.
I did the magic keystrokes, cleared the error code, and the printer worked fine. It’s been working great for a year now.
I hope someone else who has this problem finds this page and is able
to fix the problem also. I didn’t find any help on the net when I
searched.
