SC471 means: Belt tension unit cam error. Even though the belt tension unit tires to return to its home position several times, the home position sensor is not activated.


Possible Causes:

Defective transfer belt unit.

Defective transfer belt tension unit.

CN25 Pin 3 on the engine board is unable to send a signal.

Suggested fixes:

Replace the transfer belt unit.

Replace the engine control board.

Replace the transfer belt tension unit.


I would start by opening it up and inspecting the transfer belt and associated parts. Pull them out and re-seat them. Look for broken wires, stripped gears, gunk in the works. Clean it, then put it back together and test.

If you aren't up to it, it is probably time to call the repair man.

I have ricoh sg 3110 sfnw and when i open tack me error 20224 can help me?

1) This type of error in the Ricoh printer appears when the printer and the computer's connected network does not match.

2) When the printer is connected to that network, ensure that the connection of your printer is done and you can do the necessary changes and bring back the connection back to the computer.

3) Check the network ID of the printer to ensure that the computer and printer are connected to the same network.

4) The wireless lights on the printers control panel is an indication that the wireless network connection is established.

Error code SC471

SC471 is a Transfer Belt HP error. The transfer belt does not lift in the rear. The rear cam (G060 3894) slips past its locking tab on the square stepped shaft and slips off the side.
The fix: reposition the rear transfer belt lift cam to lock the tab into the square shaft. Secure the locking tab with a tie wrap.
Now this is the solution if you know what you are doing on this printer. I can not even begin to tell you in this forum how to dis-assemble the printer to get the transfer belt unit out and effect this repair. IKON is pretty pricy on labor. I would see if there is an independant guy locally that can do it. Inexpensive repair that I would charge $90 or less for. If you HAVE to call IKON then just make sure they do not try to tell you that you have to replace the transfer belt unit. This repair is all that is needed 90% of the time.
Good Luck and Thank You for using Fixya.

That is a transfer belt lift up error. The transfer belt lifts up for color and goes down for black only prints. Open right side door and check for paper stuck in the area near black rubber roller. Sometimes the belt dosen;t lift correctly. Open front door and turn knob on upper left counterclock wise to lower black transfer roller. On brown cover remove the top left screw and bottom right one (need to look on bottom side of cover) Slilde transfer unit out then back in. It is also possible the sensor inside machine is dirty.
