Error codes 501, 502, and 503 on a Ricoh MP-8001 indicate a problem with the paper cassettes. SC441 is a drum motor error code. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot these issues:

1. Check the paper cassettes: Make sure that the paper cassettes are properly loaded and that the paper is not jammed. Check that the paper guides are set correctly for the paper size.
2. Reset the paper cassettes: Open the paper cassettes, remove the paper, and then close the cassettes again. This may reset the paper cassette sensors.
3. Check the drum motor: SC441 is a drum motor error code. This may indicate a problem with the drum motor or the drum unit itself. Check the drum unit and make sure that it is properly installed.
4. Check the front door sensor: If the front door open sign is appearing on the screen even though the door is closed, there may be a problem with the front door sensor. Check the sensor and make sure that it is properly installed and functioning correctly.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be best to contact a qualified technician for further assistance. They will have the expertise and equipment necessary to diagnose and repair the problem.

Second Draw lift open the second draw remove the paper from behind the draw, ALSO REMOVE THE PAPER BEING STORED ON LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE DRAW. IT IS NOT A STORAGE AREA!!!!!!! It is available for 11xx17 paper. Storage is for the storage draw!!!!!!, IF not these two items you have a bad motor for the second draw or worse case a bad control board!!!!$$$$$$

When you removed paper from the machine, did it rip at all? If it did, a small scrap could have been left behind, causing the jam code. Depending on where the machine is located and who uses it, there might also be a foreign object lodged in it (like a staple or paper clip). If you think there is nothing in there causing the jam, try turning the machine off and turning it back on, and see if it still shows the jam.

you need to go into the menu and manually reset the error count


hope this helps

please leave feedback

for the jam code make sure after you have checked that you reset the side door correctly on upper and lower section and that the re is no paper caught behind the paper sensor arm as somtimes if pulled down it can tear and jam the sensor..the 200 might just need the pm counter change or reset..go into the service mode via clear[yellow] 107 then hold down the stop button till the creen changes copier sp and then 7. data log and you can reset the pm there...good luck A

Error code 0176 concerned with System Security. The system has been tampered with.

Try to enter the bios setup. Save the bios setting and exit. Lets see if it resolves your problem

When you close the doors does the message disappear? If so then the paper pickup roller is worn. Open the cassette remove all paper apart from one sheet. Spray a alcohol based cleaned on the leading edge of the paper. Try and do a copy this will issue a jam and also clean the pickup roller. repeat a few times then clean out the cassette and dry off place new paper in the cassette and try. Also there maybe a piece of paper behind the cassette. Remove cassette and reach in and remove paper lodged at back.

Thanks Jason

If the red error light is on by itself this indicates a Fatal Error: Fatal error indicates one of the following: ? HP sensor lever or PE sensor lever does not move smoothly. ? HP/PE sensor is defective. ? CR motor is defective. ? PF motor is defective. ? Main board is defective. ? Printer Housing is not secured with screw on the printer mechanism. You could try reflashing the firmware which sometimes helps to rectify this error.
