Ricoh Aficio C13500N - It has a error code SC 554. What is causing this and how can we fix it?

SOURCE: error message

Not sure if your printer is the same, but one ricoh I saw had an energy saving setting, that's meant to play with the warm up time of the heating roller. If you still have the manual and can find the access to such settings, you could try it with each one of the settings, to see if it fixes the problem. It's possible that with energy saving turned off your problem will be solved, which isn't a bad idea for a frequently used school machine. If it does solve it, you could ask the users to make sure the machine is turned off when it's not being used for a long period of time. Good luck

SOURCE: RICOH 2015 error code sc 500

Main motor/ transport motor lock/ fusting motor error.

The only thing you can do is check for any obstructions in the machine.

That needs to be looked at by a service because the problem could be a motor, a pcb, or a power supply.

It can be a lot of troubleshooting to do.
