Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Ricoh Aficio Mp 5001 is actually for

Most equipment pages just tell you what a device does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We offer equipment for every business need, but the right machine depends on your specific workflow.

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run a department of 15-50 people that needs an A3 mono workhorse for everyday print, copy, scan, and optional fax.
  • You print 5,000-12,000 pages a month — the 5001 is rated for ~200,000 but the cost-per-page works best in this range.
  • You scan multi-page originals up to 11x17 daily and want a 100-sheet ARDF that handles auto-duplex.
  • You want one box that does scan-to-email, scan-to-folder, scan-to-HDD, and scan-to-URL out of the box (no separate scan server).
  • You're consolidating two desktop printers and a standalone scanner into one floor unit and the math works at 50 ppm.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print up to 18,000 pages a month — the engine handles it but plan on swapping the maintenance kit on schedule.
  • You need wireless — Wi-Fi is an optional 802.11a/b/g card, not standard. Around $200 and one accessory slot.
  • You want PostScript 3 — it's an option (Adobe PS3 emulation). PCL5e/6 ships standard.
  • You want USB/SD direct print — not a feature on this generation; introduced on the 5002 successor.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 2,500 pages a month — A3 floor copier overkill. Desktop MFP works better.
  • You need color. Mono only — get an MP C-series instead.
  • You need single-pass duplex scanning — this is a reversing ADF.
  • You need 1200 dpi print resolution for fine line art — this caps at 600 dpi. Move up to the MP 5002 (1200 dpi) if needed.
  • You need a new-unit Ricoh service contract — discontinued (2010 release). Buy used/refurb with an independent service relationship.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Ricoh Aficio MP 5001 is a 50 ppm A3 mono multifunction copier built for departments of 15-50 users that need a high-volume workhorse for print, copy, scan, and optional fax on one floor-standing chassis. It prints and copies up to 50 pages per minute at 600 x 600 dpi, with a first copy time of 3.5 seconds and a 22-second warm-up. Standard paper capacity is 1,200 sheets across two 550-sheet trays and a 100-sheet bypass, expandable to 4,400 with the optional dual 550 PB3040 or 2,000-sheet PB3050 LCT. The 100-sheet ARDF handles double-sided originals up to 11x17, and scanning runs to email, network folder, the 40 GB HDD, FTP, SMB, or scan-to-URL. The 8.5-inch WVGA color touchscreen handles job programming, the customizable home screen, and quota setting for up to 500 user codes. Connectivity is 10/100 Ethernet plus USB 2.0 standard; Gigabit, 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and IEEE 1284 are options. Memory is 768 MB standard with the 40 GB HDD on board. The honest part: this is a 2010-era copier that Ricoh has discontinued — aftermarket toner is plentiful and the engine runs forever, but only buy used/refurb if you have an independent tech. The thing buyers regret: ordering the Copier Basic config and then needing to add print/scan three months later.

FAQ

Ricoh Aficio Mp 5001, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (888) 574-5120 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the Ricoh Aficio MP 5001 ships with a starter toner cartridge that yields approximately 30,000 pages at 5% coverage. The replacement toner model is Ricoh 841346 (or 884922), which also provides a yield of around 30,000 pages. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Ricoh Aficio MP 5001 is a high-volume workhorse with a speed of 50 ppm and a standard paper capacity of 1,200 sheets, expandable to 4,400 sheets. It features a 100-sheet ARDF and an 8.5-inch touchscreen. In contrast, the Ricoh IM 2500 is slower at 25 ppm but offers a 220-sheet single-pass document feeder and a 10.1-inch Smart Operation Panel with firmware updates. The IM 2500 is better suited for mid-sized offices with lower volume needs, while the MP 5001 is ideal for larger departments requiring higher output.
The Ricoh Aficio MP 5001 is designed for departments of 15-50 users and can handle high-volume printing up to 50 ppm. While it is a robust machine, its size and capacity may be excessive for a small business with lower printing needs. For smaller offices, consider a more compact and cost-effective option.
No, the Ricoh Aficio MP 5001 is a monochrome printer and only prints in black and white. If you need color printing, consider alternatives like the Ricoh IM C2500, Ricoh IM C3000, or Ricoh IM C3500.
