Ricoh SC554 Error Code

A fusing temperature sensor reported a high-temperature condition at the end of the monitored zone. The machine stopped for safety.

Fusing

What This Means in Plain Terms

A fusing temperature sensor reported a high-temperature condition at the end of the monitored zone. The machine stopped for safety.

Ricoh documents a simple cool-down and restart as the first check. Persistent returns mean hardware service.

Safe things you can try

  1. Turn the machine off and wait at least 60 seconds, longer if the machine still feels warm.
  2. If an external Fiery or print controller is attached, power that off as well.
  3. Turn the machine and any attached controller back on and wait for start-up to finish.

Do not do these

  • Do not ignore a repeating high-temperature code.
  • Do not enter service mode to clear it.

Never enter service mode or clear safety codes yourself. Those steps can damage the machine or leave a safety lock uncleared.

When to call for service

If the error reappears after this restart, a field technician is required.
