Polygonal motor is inside the laser unit. You need a technician to repair this.

I dont think it is noise more like a blade not cleaning.

You say you have replaced everything, I would think the was from Ricoh 402322 - Laser Printer Transfer Unit or
one or two of the drums (black and cyan) have these been replaced or have you just replaced toners.

sc202 is a polygon mirror motor. The most likely problem is that the motor has gone bad, and it will need to be replaced. Occasionally this error is caused by a loose or disconnected cable, but it is usually a bad mirror motor. You should contact your local service technician for replacement of the polygon mirror motor.

sc 307 is a charge bias error having to do with the yellow photoconductor unit (PCU). Replacing the yellow PCU should resolve your problem. If the problem persists even with a new PCU, you will likely need to have either the high voltage supply board or the drum positioning plate replaced.

it is possible that the drive gear in the fuser has failed. this will cause a very loud grinding sound in the back of the unit where the paper comes out. you can order new gears for it but sometimes its easier to replace the Fuser.in saying all this where is the noise coming from?

Hi, the chip on those toner bottles stores information about how much toner is left, so once that chip registers an empty toner bottle, it won't work even if you attach it to a new toner bottle. You'll need the chip from a new toner bottle, or one that hasn't registered no toner.

You have to replace the drum unit corresponding to the colors that will appear in the paper

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. I think the error is sc542 not sc242 as there is no such error for Ricoh. If it is sc542 then it is a fuser warm up error, to resolve this please follow these steps:

• To start with Press and hold online + escape, then power on.
• Use up and down arrow keys to select SP2
• Press Enter
• Use up and down arrow to locate SP5
• Press Enter
• Use up and down arrow keys to select 810
• Press Enter
• Confirm the selection
• Turn it off and on.

Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.


Thanks

The toner bottle sensors don't go bad too often. Do you have an extra yellow toner bottle? Try replacing that first. Compare the tray where the yellow toner bottle sits to the other three colors, and make sure nothing where the toner bottle connects is broken or bent.
