Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Lanier MP 501SPF 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 small office or team of 5-20 people that needs the fastest desktop B&W MFP with the 10.1" Smart Operation Panel.
  • You print 3,000-8,000 pages a month and want a desktop unit that won't bottleneck.
  • You need legal-size scanning and copying (8.5" x 14") with a 75-sheet ARDF for routine multi-page jobs.
  • You're standardizing on the current Ricoh/Lanier Smart Operation Panel fleet and want a desktop unit that runs the same widgets and workflow apps as your A3 MFPs.
  • You need scan-to-email and scan-to-folder as everyday workflows with OCR-searchable PDFs.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 8,000-12,000 pages a month — engine handles it, but Ricoh's recommended max-monthly is 16,600 so you're approaching the upper band; consider a floor-standing A3 unit at 12k+.
  • You want wireless out of the box — Wireless LAN is an optional 802.11a/b/g/n interface, not standard.
  • You need NFC tap-to-print — the NFC card reader is an optional add-on.
  • You're replacing an MP 401SPF / 402SPF — operators adapt in a day; the speed bump from 42 to 52 ppm is the immediate win.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print more than 12,000 pages a month — go to a floor-standing A3 unit (MP 4055 or 5055) for sane per-page costs.
  • You need color. This is mono only — get an MP C501SP / MP C406ZSPF instead.
  • You need 11x17 (tabloid) output — this is letter/legal only.
  • You need single-pass duplex scanning — this has the 75-sheet ARDF (flips originals), not an SPDF.
  • You need finishing (staple, hole-punch) — none on this chassis.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Lanier MP 501SPF is a desktop B&W laser MFP built for small offices and workgroups of 5-20 users that need real speed without an A3 footprint. It prints and copies up to 52 ppm at 1200 x 1200 dpi, holds 500 sheets in the standard tray plus a 100-sheet bypass, and expands to 2,600 sheets with optional paper feed units. First-copy-out is 6 seconds or less, warm-up is around 24 seconds. The 75-sheet Automatic Reversing Document Feeder (ARDF) handles two-sided originals by flipping them, so it's slower than a true single-pass SPDF. Engine duty cycle is 250,000 pages but Ricoh's recommended monthly volume is 16,600 — past that band the floor-standing MP 4055 makes more sense. The 10.1-inch Smart Operation Panel is the same Android-based touchscreen used on the current Ricoh/Lanier A3 lineup, so workflow apps, widgets, and @Remote management all work the way your existing fleet does. Standard connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet, dual USB 2.0, and dual SD card slots; Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, IEEE 1284, and a 2-port NIC are optional. The thing buyers regret: ordering this for a 25-person office that prints 15,000+ pages a month — you'll burn through toner and the engine warms up cold every morning. Launched 2017, discontinued — sold refurbished or off-lease now.

FAQ

Lanier MP 501SPF, 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 Lanier MP 501SPF ships with a starter toner cartridge that yields approximately 25,000 pages at 5% coverage. The replacement toner model is 407823, which is also a high-yield cartridge with the same 25,000-page yield. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Lanier MP 501SPF prints at 52 ppm and is designed for offices printing up to 16,600 pages monthly, while the Lanier IM 430F prints at 45 ppm and is suited for offices printing 3,000-8,000 pages monthly. The MP 501SPF has a 75-sheet ARDF, while the IM 430F features a faster 50-sheet single-pass duplex ADF. The IM 430F also offers optional Wi-Fi and NFC, which are not available on the MP 501SPF.
