OPTIMAL PRODUCTIVITY ENSURED
Choose the Aficio™MP C4501/MP C5501 for high productivity and efficiency. After taking only 22/36 
seconds to warm up, these devices race along at 45/55 colour pages per minute. The warm-up time of 
the single pass duplex models is 24/38 seconds. Recovery from sleep mode is equally fast: a mere 20/32 
seconds and 20/34 for SPDF models accordingly. Massive documents are no problem as the trays can 
hold up to 4,400 sheets. Save time by printing directly from a USB memory stick or SD card with the 
optional USB/SD slot (printable file formats: PDF, JPEG and TIFF).
DUPLEX MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
Simplex scanning is a fast 67 pages per minute. Duplex scanning (with MP C4501SPDF and MP 
C5501SPDF models) is an even faster 116 pages per minute thanks to single pass duplex; front and back 
are scanned simultaneously. If you use duplex printing only occasionally, save time by simply switching 
to the bypass tray.
SET OUTPUT LIMITS
Save money and reduce your environmental impact with quota setting. Set and manage the number of 
outputs of each individual or group. Get an overview of the usage of everyone in your office and reduce 
the Total Cost of Ownership.
WIDE MEDIA VERSATILITY
Printing heavyweight papers up to 300 g/m² is no problem with the Aficio™MP C4501/MP C5501. They 
are ideal for the quick turnaround of items printed on thick stock, such as flyers, direct mail or Point of 
Purchase material. Printing on envelopes is also straightforward; simply utilise the internal envelope tray.

WHEN SECURITY IS A PRIORITY
The Aficio™MP C4501/MP C5501 adhere to the highest level of security currently available and guarantee 
your peace of mind. The standard HDD Encryption encodes the data that is generated on the devices. 
Thanks to Data Overwrite Security, all temporary data in the systems’ HDD can be overwritten. Another 
security feature is scan to web mail (SMTP over SSL) which perfectly protects the scanned information.
EASY TO USE
The Aficio™MP C4501/MP C5501 come with Ricoh’s App2Me software platform. This innovative 
technology platform runs Ricoh Widgets, enabling mobile users to personalise how they interact with 
the MFP. These single-task software applications are automatically detected by any App2Me-ready MFP 
once they are installed on a connected PC or laptop. Once detected, a user’s Widgets will be displayed 
directly on the MFP’s display panel, providing fast access to the latest tools and applications available.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
At Ricoh we help you lower the environmental impact in your office as well as lowering your cost. The 
MP C4501/MP C5501 have eco-friendly and money-saving features such as duplexing, ultra low sleep 
mode, increased toner yield and low TEC (Typical Electricity Consumption). The devices can also be set 
to Eco Mode, a setting which can help you reduce energy use significantly. For a fast warm-up time the 
devices incorporate Ricoh’s IH roller fusing system. In addition, Ricoh products are Energy Star 
compliant. This means less CO2 is produced in providing the energy needed to run Ricoh devices.
