You get this message because the PCU isn't seated properly. This is a link for the user manual for this printer: http://www.ricoh-usa.com/downloads/manuals/printers/cl2000.pdf On page 13 shows a diagram that indicates the photoconductor unit on the printer. Page 60 shows you different error messages, what they mean and how to fix it. It means you have to take out the pcu and reseat it into the printer, it is not in correctly. Page 29 shows you how to do this. It has pictures of how to take out the pcu and put it in correctly. I hope you get it fixed.

On my new PCU the little white plastic spring-loaded pin on the front of the unit wasn't popping out like the rest of the PCUs.
If you have this problem, with a small blade or tiny screw-driver, pop out either side of the small clip that holds the white pin in place and check that the spring is free to push it out.
I was just about to throw the whole printer away but this sorted it! Error message says reset PCU correctly - 1_9_2013_7_05_35_pm.jpg

How do i fix the error message set pcu correctly on my ricoh aficio sp c811dn

Turn the machine off. Open the access door and remove the cyan photoconductor unit. Check the contact pins are straight and undamaged. Gently reinsert the unit. Turn the power back on. If the machine still does not recognise the pcu is inserted it is probably damaged and needs replacing. How many copies/prints has your machine done?

Ricoh Aficio SP C811DN. I keep getting an error message to set the Yellow PCU correctly. I've taken it out and put it back in several times. Is there a way to just clear the code assuming the PCU

Perhaps, it is a faulty PCU. Try by shutting off power and using another but wait a few minutes before turning it on again.

Error code sc440

Black drum motor error. These machines are bad about the waste toner building up in the drum unit. You could try and take the auger out of the drum unit(very messy) and clean it out or try replacing the black pcu.
