Ricoh SC623 Error Code

The main unit lost reliable communication with a paper bank or large-capacity tray option.

Paper Path

What This Means in Plain Terms

The main unit lost reliable communication with a paper bank or large-capacity tray option.

Loose connectors after moving the machine, a power glitch, or a failed option board are common. End users can reseat power and confirm the option is fully docked.

Safe things you can try

  1. Turn the machine and any attached paper bank off.
  2. Confirm the paper bank is fully pushed against the main unit and all covers are closed.
  3. Power the paper bank on first if it has its own switch, then power the main machine on.
  4. Try feeding from a different tray to see whether only the option tray is affected.

Do not do these

  • Do not yank option cables while the machine is powered.
  • Do not remove covers to probe connectors unless directed by a technician.

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 communication with the paper bank still fails after a clean restart, schedule service.
