Value productive performance
Share any idea with anyone — on almost any budget. Place the versatile RICOH MP C501 Color Laser Multifunction Printer (MFP) in your small office to produce color output at speeds up to 50 pages per minute (ppm). Share information electronically via advanced scanning and optional faxing capabilities. And leverage optional smart cloud apps, dynamic interactive support and touchscreen convenience to expedite workflows and minimize workloads.
Get ahead in the cloud
Download easy-to-use smart apps from the cloud as shortcut icons on the Home Screen. Grab data, photos and more from Google Drive™, Dropbox™ and other cloud applications from the multifunction printer's embedded web browser instantly.
Move quickly with mobile printing
Information is everywhere. Access and print it at your convenience by using the Ricoh Smart Device Connector app on your smartphone or tablet. Simply hold your NFC-equipped Android device to the MFP or scan its QR code with your iOS device to connect instantly. Then, print-from, scan-to and much more between the MFP and your mobile device. You can also use Mopria™ as another fast and easy way to mobile print.
Finish with a professional touch
Make good ideas look great on the MP C501 with optional finishing capabilities typically found only on larger, more expensive devices. Print on a wide range of media, including thicker stocks at sizes up to 8.5" x 14", with bright colors, sharp text and clear images via 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution. Use the 500-sheet internal finisher to automate stapling, stacking, hole punching and more to complete the look.
Support a faster way to work
Maintain uptime with anytime RICOH Intelligent Support. Download an app from the Ricoh Application Site for immediate access to How-to videos. With RemoteConnect Support, distant technicians can take control of your device for more complex troubleshooting. Administrators can check or change settings and update firmware in moments with other convenient remote support tools.
Experience the digital difference
Use the 220-Sheet Single Pass Document Feeder (SPDF) and get the word out immediately with a wide range of advanced Scan-to options, including Scan-to-Email, FTP, URL and more. Create searchable PDF files with optional OCR scanning. Add an optional fax module for paperless faxing using email inboxes to help reduce transmission costs and paper consumption.
Take a swipe at convenience
Put customized convenience front and center to get your message out faster. Swipe, pinch-and-flick, tap and scroll to access information, automated workflows and more on the 10.1" Wide Super VGA Smart Operation Panel. Add optional software solutions, such as Streamline NX, to perform other routine tasks in fewer steps.
Be confident, stay secure
Safeguard documents and track activity with User Authentication. Users gain access to MFP controls via passcodes or access-cards. Hold jobs in queue with the Locked Print feature until the authorized user releases it for printing. Close unused network ports to restrict further unauthorized access.
Reduce energy and paper use
Manage energy costs responsibly. The MFP is EPEAT® Gold rated and ENERGY STAR® certified, and offers a low Typical Electricity Consumption of 2.2 kWh/week. Duplex printing comes standard to reduce paper usage and costs. Plus, you can program the device to shut down automatically when the office is empty.
