Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Ricoh Aficio Mp 5000b 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 workgroup of 10-30 people that needs a 50-ppm A3 mono copier and you're fine without color scanning, high-compression PDF, or the bigger HDD.
  • You print/copy 4,000-10,000 pages a month and want one floor-standing unit on a budget instead of a fully loaded MP 5000.
  • You're standardizing on Ricoh and want a copier-first base unit that you can add print or scan to later as a paid option.
  • You scan to email and network folder occasionally (B&W only) and don't need scan-to-USB or color PDF compression.
  • You're replacing an Aficio 2050/2060 in a back office where uptime matters more than feature breadth.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print up to 12,000 pages a month — engine is rated for it, but plan on more frequent maintenance kit swaps.
  • You add the optional ARDF — base unit ships with platen only; the 100-sheet ARDF is a separate line item if you scan/copy multi-page originals regularly.
  • You want USB/SD direct print — not a feature on the B (basic) variant; that came in the 4002/5002 generation.
  • You add wireless — IEEE 802.11b is an option, not standard.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 2,000 pages a month — desktop MFP fits better.
  • You need color. Mono only.
  • You need color scanning or high-compression PDF — the B model omits both. Get the MP 5000 (non-B) instead.
  • You need a current Ricoh service contract — this is a 2008-era model, long discontinued. Independent service tech only.
  • You need scan-to-USB or scan-to-SD — not supported on this model. Move up to the 4002/5002 generation if that's important.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Ricoh Aficio MP 5000B is a 50 ppm A3 mono multifunction copier — the 'B' (basic) variant of the MP 5000 platform, designed for workgroups of 10-30 users that need volume copy and print without color scanning or premium scan features. It copies and prints up to 50 pages per minute at 600 x 600 dpi, with a first copy time of 3.5 seconds and a 13-second warm-up. Standard paper capacity is 1,200 sheets across two 550-sheet trays and a 100-sheet bypass, expandable up to 4,400 with the optional 2x550 paper bank or 2,000-sheet LCT. Memory is 256 MB standard / 512 MB max, with a 40 GB HDD on board. The B model ships without color scanning, scan-to-USB, scan-to-SD, or high-compression PDF — those features were reserved for the MP 5000 and later platforms. Standard interfaces are 10/100 Ethernet and USB 2.0; Gigabit, 802.11b, Bluetooth, and IEEE 1284 are paid options. The 100-sheet ARDF is also optional, not standard — base configuration ships with platen only. The honest part: this is a 2008-era machine, long discontinued by Ricoh. It's mechanically reliable and aftermarket toner is cheap, but only buy used/refurb if you have an independent service tech. The thing buyers regret: not just spending the extra ~$1,500 on the MP 5000 (non-B) and getting the color scan and full feature set.
