Ricoh MP C2551 Printer Review

Most modern office machines can handle the most common tasks, but the influx of new electronic devices for users sometimes requires new solutions. The Ricoh Aficio MP C2551 is a multifunction color laser printer that includes printing, copying, faxing, and scanning capabilities, but also extras like cloud printing and support for smartphones and tablets, making it a versatile solution for modern office users. Even better, it is very cost-effective, with affordable Ricoh MP C2551 printer toner trimming down its running costs.

The addition of color printing is becoming even more essential, and the MP C2551 can output very high-quality color prints at resolutions of up to 1200 dpi. Its print speeds are a bit on the slow side, at only 25 pages per minute, however, which could be a problem for busy office environments. An automatic reversing document feeder is included, as well as a flatbed scanning platen, providing some versatility in accepted media.

The machine includes a 160 GB hard drive, which allows the device to store documents and files directly for quick access. It also borrows from consumer-centric devices with its front-mounted USB port and SD memory card slot, allowing for quick direct printing. The included HotSpot technology allows smartphones and other mobile devices to print to or interact with the unit through specialized apps. This is particularly useful for administrators, who can monitor the machine's status and view details like Aficio MP C2551 toner levels from anywhere in the office, or even remotely.

The machine is energy-efficient, with quick warm-up times that won't interrupt workflow when waking from sleep mode. Toners are also cost-effective, with affordable prices on Ricoh MP C2551 toner cartridges. Replacing the Aficio MP C2551 toner cartridges is a simple process, and using compatible Ricoh MP C2551 toner can allow for even more savings.

The Ricoh MP C2551 goes above and beyond the expected features of a multifunction laser, and adds some very convenient features like HotSpot support and front-mounted ports. The result is a machine that is a very good value for a small or medium-sized office, as long as its speeds aren't too slow for its intended users.
