That is a fuser fault code will need to repair fuser first. If you buy the fuser might come with instructions to reset code.

Found you a procedure:

Its a hot section error, not a good one, to reset push in order, clear modes(yellow), 1, 0, 7, hold stop/clear for 5 seconds, if it comes right back service needed. -Carl

have you checked/replaced the thermostats?
this may also be a problem with your hvt board or power supply.

You should have a service technician come look at the machine. sc542 is a fuser code, which could mean that a thermostat was blown, or it could be a dirty or defective thermistor. A Ricoh technician will be able to inspect the fuser and make that determination, and hopefully get you up and running right away!

Ricoh CL4000DN Error Code SC542
Turns out error SC542 indicates a fuser temperature problem. Once the error is detected, the printer is toast until you manually clear the error from the keypad. Even though the printer is physically fine, it won’t come ready until the prior error condition is cleared.
A few phone calls with our local Ricoh service rep, and he admitted that the printer might trip this error in a power brownout.
The printer was less than 30 days old and the error was caused by the brownout or the fuser failed. I kept calling the Ricoh rep, and they finally gave me the magic keystrokes over the phone.
I did the magic keystrokes, cleared the error code, and the printer worked fine. It’s been working great for a year now.
I hope someone else who has this problem finds this page and is able to fix the problem also. I didn’t find any help on the net when I searched.
