Ricoh, Lanier, Savin SP C240, SP C242 Fuser SC Reset Procedure

The Ricoh, Lanier, Savin SP C240, SP C242 Fuser SC Reset procedure is used to get your machine back up and running after it has experienced a fuser related error. Whenever your machine gets one of these errors you must reset the error in order for the machine to go through the normal warmup procedure. This feature is used to prevent additional damage to other components and in extremely rare cases, fire. The fuser heats up to temperatures around 400 decrees. Some of these errors are related to over heat issues. Turning the machine back on while it has overheated might cause additional heat to be applied and we don’t really want to figure out what that would do. Below you will find a list of errors that will require the code reset, instructions for the different modes (Printer / All-in-One) , and links to purchase a fuser if needed. In most cases, if you reset the error code and it comes back, chances are you will be replacing the fusing unit.
