Compact and Durable

Ricoh's innovative LED technology delivers significant advances in speed, quality and reliability. With its powerful Intel 1.1 - 1.3 GHz processor, the Ricoh P 501 quickly processes even the most complex jobs, printing pitch-perfect 1,200 x 1,200 dpi black and white output at a productive 43 pages per minute. And, with its high duty rating, it reliably meets peaks in demand.

  1. Excellent performance
    Maximum input capacity of 2,100 sheets with optional paper banks provide longer uninterrupted print runs.
  2. High quality output
    Maximum 1,200 x 1,200 dpi print resolution ensures sharp and crisp text every time.
  3. Reliable and easy to use
    Compact footprint enables devices to be installed in almost any location—from office desks to under retail shop counters.
  4. Security in our DNA
    DataOverwriteSecurity System (DOSS) keeps hard drive contents protected, making all confidential data unrecoverable by overwriting latent digital images after all print jobs.
