Ricoh Aficio MP C3001/C3501 and MP C4501/C5501
Versatile color in a secure, eco-friendly design.
It’s not enough for full-color multifunctional systems to
offer vibrant image quality, high productivity and incredible
versatility. Beyond high performance, today’s users need
environmentally-friendly solutions that offer security features
and extensive choices for managing documents. The RICOH®
Aficio®MP C3001/C3501 and MP C4501/C5501 deliver all this
and more in a convenient, cost-effective design. Use these
innovative systems to accomplish any critical task—from
printing and copying to scanning and faxing, from finishing
and distribution to color control and workflow execution.
Each one helps fast-paced offices produce flawless
documents securely and efficiently with more
collaboration and less outsourcing.

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.
• Expect 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.
• Create compelling presentations, comps, spreadsheets, booklets, brochures and
other documents in eye-catching color or crisp, detailed black & white.
•
Print or copy on a variety of paper stocks and sizes, then add professional inline
finishing to generate ready-to-use marketing, education and collaboration materials.
Fast, High-Quality Output
Meet tough deadlines with exceptional speed and
processing power.
• Keep 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.
Superior Hard Drive Security
Hard drives often contain confidential files. If left
unprotected, they can be a target for hackers and
thieves. Ricoh helps ensure your hard drive stays safe.
• Reduce the risk of anyone extracting sensitive documents from the hard drive,
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.
• Prevent 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-
layered approach to authentication lets you confirm user identity and control
access to color printing and other functions.
• Defend against unauthorized network interceptions with encrypted PDF
transmission, which protects data for Scan-to-Email and Scan-to-Folder functions.
PowerfulEfficientSecureFast
Depend on these systems to deliver high-
resolution color documents for marketing,
education, training and collaboration.
Prevent unauthorized users from accessing
these systems with a variety of user
authentication methods.
The intuitive, full-color LCD Control Panel
makes it easy for any user to access basic
functionality or more advanced workflow tools.

Advanced Document Distribution
Ensure recipients around the world receive
important documents. The Ricoh Aficio MP C3001/
C3501 and MP C4501/C5501 make it easy to
manage document distribution.
• Distribute hardcopy documents immediately with a variety of “Scan-
to” functions. Scan-to-Email reaches multiple recipients instantly, while
Scan-to-Folder can be configured to share and archive documents
automatically.
• Reduce network traffic with Scan-to-URL, which saves scanned
documents on the hard drive and allows recipients to access them
through a secure hyperlink. This avoids the risk of clogging the network
when sending large files.
• Put all your documents in your pocket with Scan-to-Removable Media,
which lets you easily store scanned files on a USB clip drive or SD card.
•
Convert 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
routing inbound faxes to an e-mail address or network folder.
Professional Inline Finishing
Produce a diverse portfolio of attractive, ready-
to-deliver documents using a full complement of
finishing choices.
• Keep outsourcing to an absolute minimum for reports, plans and other
essential documents. The Ricoh Aficio MP C3001/C3501 offers stapling
with optional 500-sheet or 1,000-sheet Finishers, while the MP C4501/
C5501 offers a 1,000-sheet or a 3,000-sheet Finisher.
• Create easy-to-read booklets with a 1,000-sheet Booklet Finisher
for the MP C3001/C3501 or a 2,000-sheet Booklet Finisher for the
MP C4501/C5501.
• Produce two- or three-hole punched documents that are ready for
insertion in binders. All four systems offer optional hole punching.
Promote Environmental Sustainability
• Reduce unnecessary output with Locked Print, as well as the User
Account Limit feature, which allows administrators to set limits on output
for individual users. Minimize wasted energy and paper, minimize the
workload of IT managers and increase users’ environmental awareness.
• Reduce paper consumption considerably with standard Automatic
Stackless Duplexing, which produces two-sided booklets, brochures,
agendas and more, with no additional user involvement.
• Ricoh has been an environmental leader for more than 30 years and
remains committed to providing eco-friendly office solutions.
Ricoh Aficio MP C3001/C3501 and MP C4501/C5501
Ricoh has been named one of the “Global
100 Most Sustainable Corporations
in the
World” by Corporate Knights Magazine for
the sixth consecutive year.
Reduce network traffic and transmit files more
efficiently with Scan-to-URL, which stores
documents on the system’s hard drive, allowing
recipients to view them via web browser.
Use these versatile devices to generate an
extensive variety of full-color, professionally
finished documents.

DependableAccessibleVersatileExceptional
Remarkable Energy Efficiency
All four models continue a long-standing Ricoh
commitment to promoting energy savings without
compromising quality or productivity.
• Use less power without changing workflow or inconveniencing users.
The Ricoh Aficio MP C3001/C3501 warms up in 23 seconds and recovers
from Sleep Mode in 13 seconds. The MP C4501 is ready to go in 22 seconds
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 some of the lowest Typical
Electricity Consumption (TEC) values in the industry for all four models
(as of September, 2010)1.
• Get documents quickly and save energy with fast first-copy times. The
MP C3001/C3501 delivers the first color copy in just 7.8 seconds or 4.9
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.
• Print 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.
•
Print JPEGs, TIFFs and PDFs directly from a USB drive or SD card right at the
system. There is no need to open native applications or gain access to the LAN.
1
Typical Electricity Consumption (TEC) Approach: A method of testing and comparing the energy performance of imaging
equipment products which focuses on the typical electricity consumed by a product while in normal operation during a
representative period of time. The key criteria of the TEC approach for imaging equipment is a value for typical weekly
electricity consumption, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). Detailed information can be found in the “ENERGY STAR
Qualified Imaging Equipment Typical Electricity Consumption Test Procedure” available at www.energystar.gov/products.
Print documents directly from a USB drive
or SD card. Just plug in and print without
connecting to the local network.
With fast warm-up and recovery times, these
models save both time and energy.
