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.

Um.. I don't see an "online" or "escape" button anywhere on the printer...
