Ricoh 1224c Error code sc571

[davyb]

Hi,

I just bought a second hand Ricoh 1224c.
When starting it I get following Error "sc 571".

I read something about adding oil at the back of the printer. I checked and their is no oil anymore. Can anyone tell me what kind of oil I've to add? (If I've to add some oil...)

Kind Regards,

Davy

Hi Davy

You need to fill the oil tank with "silicon oil" i'm I'm not sure where your're from, but where I am its virtually impossible to get it apart from a dealer or a company such as Katun.
Once you have replenished the oil the error code will have to be reset, I would only let an experienced tech do it as you have to enter the service mode on the machine, and pressing the wrong buttons can cause untold problems.

Get a tech to do it is my advise, as they will also be able to provide the correct oil

Well the only time i have had to go into SP modes was when the oil wasn't been fed back to the tank in the oil supply unit...SP1930-1

you have to enter: "c-(yellow)", "107", "c-red", and then open "copy". go to service mode 5-5810 to reset the service call. shut down the machine and restart.

5810 will reset a fusing code, that wont do much for the issue he is having

SC571 is a fuser error (type A) and yes, you will have to reset using 5-810.
