    The 3025 does not have all these buttons. My technician left me the instructions for fixing this code as follows:
    - Press Clear Modes
    - Press 1 0 7
    - Press Clear/Stop and hold until SP Mode appears (3-5 secs)
    - Select Copy SP
    - Select 5810
    - Select Execute
    - Select Exit
    - Turn the top power switch off
    - Turn the main power switch off
    - Turn the main power switch back on

Error Code sc542 indicates a fuser temperature problem. Appreantly Ricoh error codes are not something you can come by easily.

The machine has the ability to trip an alram when the tempreature gets too high and will not continue to work untill the error is cleared out. I am unaware of how to do this you will need to contact Ricoh to either send somone down to fix the issue or ask them to tell you how to fix it on your own.

Hope this Helps

"clear modes", 1, 0 , 7, then (hold) "clear/stop" for a few seconds until "sp mode" comes up. turn main power off/on (red switch).
If code comes back there is trouble with the fuser that needs to be repaired to clear code permanently.

Error sc 547

Found this from:
http://slayo.com/ricoh-cl4000dn-error-code-sc542.html


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.

The Fix In order to clear error SC542, you must perform procedure 5810.
  • Press and hold online + escape, then power on.
  • Use up and down arrow keys to select SP2
  • Press Enter
  • Use up and down arror to locate SP5
  • Press Enter
  • Use up and down arrow keys to select 810
  • Press Enter
  • Confirm the selection
  • Power off and on.
The error code is now cleared.

Hope this helps!
