My fax machine has come up with a message that i don't understand 'time to change PCU'. I don't think it is the toner - it has been suggested that it may be the Printer Cartridge Unit??? Can someone please confirm this??
"PCU" stands for photoconductor unit. It's the drum unit and is located inside the front door panel, immediately to the right of the toner cartridge. The pcu contains the drum and developer, and yields 45,000 pages. Precision Roller sells for $129.95. Go to precisionroller.com and their part # is A7948.
You can continue to operate the fax, as is,without damaging it, as long as the print quality is acceptable to you. When it isn't, then buy the pcu.
I sell these machines My email is [email protected]. Good luck, Sam

Hi, PCU stands for photo conductor unit, most of us call it a drum unit. You should be able to order from any office supply. It is easy to install and will come with directions.
I've never seen a message like that with the 0390H code. There is no mention of that code in either the user manual or service manual. The closest thing is the sc390 code, which means either the toner density sensor or the developer has gone bad, and typically replacing the PCU can fix that problem.
If the new PCU doesn't fix the problem, you might want to try calling Ricoh for support, since their documentation doesn't mention that code.

Order a new PCU from Ricoh. Power off the machine and replace the pcu.
If you try and cheat it it will run for a short while and then lock-up breaking some gears. Cheeper just to order a pcu. Check Ebay, i see alot of Ricoh supplies there.
