    [Error Code] Ricoh Aficio 1018 error SC544

    I got this error on Aficio 1018. Error is SC544, I checked thermistor, thermostat and thermo fuse.
    They are ok. Fusing lamp is ok too. When I try to reset this code it gives me error, so it cant be reset.
    Maybe the power board is defective?
    Does enyone know what to do? Thanks in advance.

        You can check and see if the thermistor is functioning in sp modes under FEED>fusing temperature display. By the way, I think you have to use sp 5810 and a specific procedure to reset a fuser code. Check the manual.

          To reset a fuser sc, go to SP5-810, hold down the Halftone key and press OK. If you don't press the Halftone button you will get an error.
