    Go to Smart Organizing Monitor. Now click on 'about' button.The tricky part comes now. Hold the 'Shift' and 'Ctrl' Keys simultaneously and keeping these pressed down, double click the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON. Here comes the maintenance window! On this window, you can perform the necessary maintenance. After that click on 'apply', then on 'OK' then close the window, turn the printer off and again turn it On to apply the changes made.

    Thank you very much. Pages set to zero.
    Might try it on an old chip now. Tried it on an expired chip. No luck, but Print totals zeroed and error log cleared.
    See how long this new chip lasts. It had only done 5 pages.
    To get the apply button active after factory Default you might need to set destination, like EU to something different, then restore to what you want.

SOURCE: i have a ricoh aficio sp c420dn, when and turn on

You may try first to reset the SC 542 before calling a technician!

That you can do by following method:

1.Turn the machine off and then after 5 second turn it on while pressing the “On Line” key and “Escape” key together until “SYSTEMver x.xx/1. Service” shows on the display.
2.Use the “Up/Down arrow” keys to scroll through the menu listing.
3. Press the (OK) key while
on the display writes " 2. Engine " .
4.go to "[5810 001] - Fusing SC Reset" by scrolling the “Up/Down arrow” keys and press the [OK] key (on the display should write execute or done) press [OK] again if is needed to press it.
5. After this turn off and than after 5 second turn it on the machine.
Please do not change nothing else in this menu only reset the fusing unit SC code, because if you change some other values and settings you might to regret that and pay high price for that.
So only reset the Fuser SC code SC542 by the upper mentioned method and do nothing else, if the SC code appear again then do not try this again because you might burn some parts.
If this do not help than call the technician.
Please answer do this is helpful for i to know do the problem was solved.
Regards
