THIS IS USUALLY FOR THE FUSER SECTION IT MAY BE THAT SOME TONER HAS BUILT UP ON THE THERMISTOR AND IT AINT READUNG THE TEMP PROPERLY AT WARM UP OR ON A RUN IT HAS TO OVERHEAT TO GET RIGHT READING TAKE THE FUSER OUT CHECK THE THERMISTORS.. YOU COULD ALSO GO INTO THE SERVICE MODE VIA CLEAR ALL THEN 107 AND HOLD DOWN THE RED STOP BUTTON TILL THE SCREEN CHANGES IF YOU LOOK FOR COPIER SP IN THE FEED SECTION THE FUSER SETTINGS ARE THERE YOU CAN OPEN FUSING TEMP AND CHECK THE TEMPS AT THE TIME TO SEE IF THEY ARE RIGHT.. IF IT SEEMS RIGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A READ ERROR AND BY GOING INTO MODE AND LOOKING FOR 5- 810 YOU CAN RESET THE SC TURN OFF AND THEN BACK ON IT SHOULD CLEAR... GOOOD LUCK A

Your touch screen went bad. This is a common problem with many newer Ricoh models. Get in touch with your service technician to get a new screen.

SOURCE: Ricoh MP C2500 Error Code SC 561 what is this?

sc561 on an MP C2500 is a thermopile error. The thermopile may need to be replaced, but first make sure it is connected properly and hasn't been moved or loosened.

You'll need to go into service mode and execute SP 5810 in order to clear the sc561 code.

The red streaks are caused by the red drum transferring way more toner than it should. Cleaning it is easy, you can do it no problem at all - all you need is a lint free rug, some pure alcohol and one hour of your time. The access is easy, no tools required and the exact procedure is in the manual.
The drum looks like that

The manual, if you no longer have it, can be found here

But to be honest i doubt that it will work: the drum picks so much toner because its surface has lost its sensitivity and it can't no longer generate the image correctly when struck by the laser. Most likely you will have to replace it.
