Error code E-4

some potentially useful information can be found here: what the error codes mean, and the services manual; (I have pointed to error code 792 but the others are different pages), there is a copy of the service manual too. This is only a starting point !

hope that lot help :)

Problem with the yellow laser unit. Probably need a tech for that one.

This is a common error code for Ricoh copiers, Savin and Gestetner copiers that need service. Recently Ricoh has purchased Lanier and now is naming all their new machines Lanier instead of Gestetner, Savin and Ricoh. However, the copier service error codes have remained he same.
When you get this copier printer service code it means the fuser or fixing assembly (same part) has thermistor problem. The copier fuser's thermistors help regulate the temperature of the fuser assembly. The fuser assembly on all copiers including Canon, Kyocera, Ricoh, Sharp and other brands is the part that melts the toner onto the page.
Getting back to the repairing the copier on Ricoh, Savin, Lanier and Gestetner models that have the fuser or fixing code error. The majority of the time the fusers' thermistors (Middle and read) need to be replaced. Just cleaning them will not solve the copier repair service code.
It is usually, depending upon the machine, its a 1 to 2 hour copier repair job because the copier repair service technician will need to dissemble the fuser, insert the two new thermistors, re-assemble, reset the error code and test the copier machine repair. Also, ask the copier technicians to to do a copier cleaning maintenance while on site.

Hello sir; You do need to reset this error code, procedure as follow;
press 71,hold down "clear/stop"key, until you see the "." in the upper left cornor of the display, then release, after that you press "clear/stop" key again then press lighter key, the 5 will now flash on the display, now enter 97 press start, turn machine off and back on , machine should be running.

Fusing unit trouble.Clean the thermofuse and thermistors,check the heater lamp.After ,enter in the service mode turn the power switch OFF unplugged the crd.Wait 10 sec. plugg the cords and turn ON the machine.I think the Savin is based the Ricoh copiers machine.The service enter code is : Press the toral clear key - 1 - 0 - 7 -hold down the C key more 3 sec.

The SP mode is 6-101. Set to "0" (no sorter), and press "#" to save setting.

please rate solution :)

Hello flyersgirl68,
I truly wish I could help you. But , you would not believe how helpful it would be if I knew what brand copier you have. Canon makes a 3035 copier but they have no error codes that start with f. Mita "MADE" a copier (1986) that had an "f" in their error codes that indicated the feeder had a problem. I guess we might want to narrow it down a tad. Is your machine a ...........canon,olivetti,mita,ricoh,savin,oce,kodak,xerox,minolta,konica,nashua,pitney bose,danka,savin,gestetner,monroe,ibm,imagistic,panasonic,toshiba,lanier,brother,riso,......etc....

hi fixya180,

It seems that the error code 541 (which indicates a problem with the heating unit thermistor in the machine), cannot be reset by the user for safety reasons, ref;

This error requires service support from your local authorized dealer or original point of purchase. You say that you've verified the functionality of your fuser unit; then a authorized Savin printer technician will probably just have to reset the error code of your copier.

Hope you find this info helpful in solving the problem and thanks for using the FixYa service
Kind regards
