Ricoh SC670 Engine Start-Up Error
What it means
The controller board and the engine board did not establish communication during start up, so the machine never becomes ready. A full power cycle at the wall is the first thing to try. If it persists the machine needs attention on site.

Common questions
What does the SC670 error mean on a Ricoh printer?
The controller board and the engine board did not establish communication during start up, so the machine never becomes ready. A full power cycle at the wall is the first thing to try. If it persists the machine needs attention on site.
Is the SC670 error serious?
This one usually points at a hardware fault rather than something a setting will clear, so treat an unchanged result after a power cycle as a reason to contact the manufacturer rather than to keep trying.
Different code or problem?
Switch off and unplug a printer before reaching inside it. If a fault involves the power supply or internal electronics, or the machine is under warranty, contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician. Full disclaimer.
