    How to clear SC 542

    How do you clear this error.
    I mean the fusing unit is typically brand new.
    Maybe because of the sudden change in temperature?

      running this command only once then restart the machine?
      so it must be the temperature change?

        What's the machine model?
        It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

        Hit it.

            Clean the thermistor, perhaps it accumulate some toner.... check the thermostat if its not open... basically i do enter in SP mode then turn it off... but to be more helpful tell us the model... thanks
            fix the customer first then fix the machine... its simple and makes life more easy.

              Also how do you clean the thermistor.

                    Totally agree with earlier post,It's not that sort of typical 1045 fuser where you can easily access thermistors,be careful and make sure you know what you are doing,clear it with 5-810 or simply going in SP and restart,if it pops up again measure the line voltage,
                    if that doesn't help follow the Service manual or better '' CALL A TECH''.

                    GOOD LUCK.
