All-In-One Office Document Portals

With four models to choose from, the Ricoh Aficio
MP C3001/C3501 and MP C4501/C5501 provide an
extensive array of capabilities for fast-paced,
results-oriented offices.
• E xpect powerful multifunction performance with a complete lineup of printing,
copying, scanning and faxing functionality on all four models.
• Manage any workflow with speed and precision. Choose from a broad selection
of on-board document distribution tools, portable plug-and-play media, mobile
widgets and a host of other document-delivery tools.

Meet tough deadlines with exceptional speed and
processing power.
•K  eep more jobs in-house, printing or copying up to 55 pages-per-minute
in both full-color and black & white.
• Process even the most complicated print jobs with ease. These systems offer
controllers with blazing speed and substantial memory capacity, so users spend
more time working and less time standing around waiting for documents.
• Accommodate local networking requirements and make life easier on IT. All four
models offer a wide range of standard and optional interfaces as well as broad
compatibility with Windows, Macintosh, Unix and AS/400 environments.

even after the system reaches end of life. The standard DataOverwriteSecurity
System (DOSS) automatically overwrites the area of the hard drive used
for image processing after the completion of each job, making it virtually
impossible to recover documents. At the end of the system’s useful life, the
entire hard drive can be overwritten, which destroys the data before it leaves
your location.
• Safeguard documents stored on the hard drive even if the drive is removed
from the system. Standard HDD Encryption adds a powerful layer of security
to certain stored files, encoding them for maximum defense against hackers.

Optimize Document Security

All four models offer advanced security features
designed to protect business-critical documents.
• P revent unauthorized viewing of confidential files with Locked Print.
Users must enter a password at the control panel before jobs are printed.
• Add high-quality color to your projects without the risk of misuse. A multi-

which lets you easily store scanned files on a USB clip drive or SD card.
•C  onvert hardcopy documents into High Compression PDFs using the
JPEG 2000 image compression standard. Unlike other methods, the JPEG
2000 standard helps ensure file sizes are small and portable without
compromising image quality.
• Handle fax workflows quickly and conveniently. Send or receive faxes
electronically with Internet (T.37) faxing, send faxes directly from a PC
(LAN faxing), or use IP (T.38) and Super G3 faxing for quick delivery to
conventional fax numbers.
• Decrease fax errors with the ability to detect blank pages and allow users
to preview faxes prior to transmission.
• Ensure that information gets to the intended recipient by automatically

and recovers in 19 seconds or less (36 and 32 seconds for the MP C5501).
The innovative induction heating fusing system heats up quickly, using less
electricity to do the same work. All this leads to the lowest Typical Electricity

seconds for black & white, while the MP C4501/C5501 provides a color
copy in as little as 5.0 seconds and 3.1 seconds for black & white.

Support Mobile Workers

Mobile users often have no easy way to print
important documents, even when traveling to branch
offices. These systems give mobile users access to
essential features without compromising security.
• P rint without device-specific drivers, special software or a LAN connection
using the Ricoh HotSpot MFP option. This capability lets mobile users print
directly from a laptop, handheld device or smart phone—including BlackBerry®
and iPhone®.
• Save time and improve flexibility with the innovative Mail-to-Print capability.
This allows users to print a PDF or JPEG attachment auto­matically by sending
an e-mail directly to the system instead of connecting to a local network.
• P rint JPEGs, TIFFs and PDFs directly from a USB drive or SD card right at the Print documents directly from a USB drive
