Aficio 1224c Error code Sc544

[h.lubecks]

Hi intelligent people,

I have an Aficio 1224c and, it was working fine until I changed the password for operator tools, 2 min, after that a windows test came out, it was less dark, after that I have this message: code SC 544

the button of the printer is lighting red, and a service key is also lighting red.
can I rest this, and if the thermostats are defective, where can I find them?
I don't have the service manual, only users manual.

thanks for the help,

greetings, Hans.

Changing the password has nothing to do with the service code that pop´t up, you have a fuser problem, call in a Tech.

Thank you for your fast replay,
but I don't have a service contract, and it is very expensive for me now to get one.

I have some knowledge about electronics, just don't know where to look!
I don't know it is possible for me to get the schematic drawings for this machine? or a manual that can help?

greetings, Hans

like the 1st reply says, it does not concern what u changed when that code appeared... only a power surge can trigger a fixing error... unless u were unfortunate that a thermistor went open.....

try to reset the machine first. before you tear apart your fixing unit

Merci mon frere Zoren,

I don't know how to reset it,

I have also found the error codes

544 A
The dual monitoring circuitry of the
BICU detects extremely high
temperature and tripped the relay circuit
off.
• Power supply unit defective
• I/O board (IOB) defective
• BICU defective
• Fusing thermistor defective

where to find this relay circuit, to rest it?

thanks a lot,

greetings Hans

im not familiar with Aficio 1224c if its the same procedure with other ricoh digital models when resetting error codes but you can try...

I have also found the error codes 544 A

• Power supply unit defective
• I/O board (IOB) defective

• Fusing thermistor defective
greetings Hans

But if these hardwares you mentioned have a problem, you wont be able to reset it just like i mentioned in your PM.... better ask a copier tech'n to check it first....

Hans,

Im guessing from your posts that your not a trained tech, so let me laymans terms it for you.

SC544 is a fuser error and as said previously has nothing to do with your password change.

The SC544'A' is a code type 'A' which means it will not clear by itself, it needs a technician to reset it.

If you want I can talk you through re-setting, but it will need to be over the phone as it will take a few minutes and is to long for this post.

Please feel free to give me a call (my number is at www.inception.co.uk).

If your not from the UK, our UK code is +44 and drop the 0 at the start of the number.

Regards

Gareth

Thank you all for the help,

the reset was successful, it works again OK!

I don't think it's a good idea to tell a non-tech the way to enter the service mode. The service mode is for technicians who know what they're doing, not for customers!
You can do a lot of damage if you don't know what you're doing!

You can simply reset the 544 Service Call, but what caused this SC??? I bett this SC will return.
