[Error Code] Ricoh 3053 SC270-00 Error: Possible Cause and Solution

[faraz_afaq]

Hello everyone,

I'm encountering an issue with a Ricoh 3053 photocopier displaying error code SC270-00. From our analysis, it seems this error may be attributed to a fault in the PWB: IPU Board. However, we would appreciate confirmation and further insights from the community.

Could someone confirm if the SC270-00 error is commonly associated with problems in the PWB: IPU Board of the Ricoh 3053? Additionally, what could be the underlying cause of this error, and what steps would you recommend to address it effectively?

Furthermore, if we opt to replace the faulty IPU Board with a new one, are there any precautions we should take to ensure the proper functioning of the photocopier? Is there a risk of damaging other components if we install a new board?

Any advice, suggestions, or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Do you have the Service Manual? If So it will show you the connection between IPU and BCU. If you don't have a Service Manual, Get one.

Try reseating the ribbon cable between the BCU and IPU. Also, it related to energy saver mode. See if you can turn off energy saver or change the settings for energy saver. Look in User Tools-Administrator Tools.
