How to get a copy count on a ricoh 7200 printer

Old yes, the newer models have more memory, faster speeds, ect, but if it works... Ricoh "life" is 5 years, or a max copy count.
If its your main color unit, and you count on it, then maybe its time to look. -Carl

fuser assy replace it and reset code or have tech come out and fix it

doubtful its true,but it is a standard practice to set up the machine to count 11 by 17 as 2 clicks because it is 2 pieces of 8.5 by 11 which are counted as 1 .... GET IT ?

Press the {User Tools/Counter} key.

The User Tools Main Menu appears.

Enter {2} with the Number keys.

(is this what you are looking?)

sc386 = an error with the black developer. This could be caused by something in the DV unit itself, or the black toner. If you've just replaced either one of these recently, try reinstalling them and resetting the machine. Otherwise, the black development unit probably needs to be replaced.

The black PCU sets up color registration, it is not that much. Do yourself a favor and replace. -Carl

you can't stop or reset the counter.

replace nvram

Your copier may need developer if the cycle count is over 150,000 copies. Once that is added to the toner the Toner/Developer sensor should be calibrated and should work fine.

Sometimes the drum can create light copies if it was exposed to light from being out of the machine or leaving the door open too long on the side of the machine letting light in.

If the copy count is around 150,000 or higher and you haven't replaced the developer as well, it should be replaced. That symptom can cause light copies if it hasn't been replaced every 150,000 cycles.
