Common causes

  • 1Synchronization error: Board handshake failed during boot.
  • 2Voltage surge: Potential damage to internal controller components.
  • 3Firmware issue: Error reading startup instructions in internal RAM.
  • 4Internal cabling: Loose ribbon cables connecting the control boards.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If the machine hangs during startup, it's likely a controller communication issue. Why does my Ricoh MP 3554 show SC672-13 error? The boards are failing to exchange necessary data to initialize the OS.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power off via the main switch.
  2. Unplug the power cable for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Disconnect network and USB cables temporarily.
  4. Boot the machine in isolation. If it starts, reconnect devices one by one.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Use power stabilizers to prevent voltage spikes from damaging the internal communication bus. Keep device firmware current.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error persists after power cycling, the main controller board or internal RAM module likely needs professional replacement.

Frequently asked questions

The SC672-13 is a startup communication error between the main controller and the operation panel.

Not necessarily; it is often a synchronization data error resolved by a complete power cycle.

No, SC672-13 is strictly an electronic hardware communication fault; toner status is irrelevant.

Ensure the machine is connected to a power stabilizer, as voltage spikes are common causes for this error.
