Product Overview
The Ricoh MP C401/C401SR are among the very few color copier MFPs that only print and copy up to legal-sized paper. They are aimed at the midsize workgroup that does not need ledger-sized (11″ x 17″) handling.
The $5,800 MP C401 and $6,405 C401SR copy and print at 42ppm in both color and black-and-white. Printing, copying, and scanning are standard while faxing is optional. The difference between the base and SR models consists of a standard finisher on the SR model. Another difference is that the optional one-bin 100-sheet tray is only available on the base model.
Both models come standard with a 2GB memory, not upgradeable, and include a 320GB hard drive.
Ricoh offers an optional 10.1″ Super VGA Smart Operation Panel where users can drag and drop or pinch, flick, and swipe icons, much like a tablet. There is also optional access to cloud-based document management and printing services.

These Ricoh MP models are productive machines, with decent paper capacity, standard finisher (on the SR model), and excellent features
Features
Paper supplies: A 550-sheet tray and a 100-sheet bypass tray are standard. You can optionally add a second two-tray bank for 1,100 more sheets or add a single 550-sheet tray. Maximum paper input is 2,300 sheets.
There is a standard 50-sheet-capacity reversing automatic document feeder (what we call an RADF). Duplexing is standard.
Output and finishing features: The MP C401 starts with a 500-sheet output capacity. The MP C401SR has a standard 250-sheet output tray. A one-bin tray with 100 sheets is available as an option for the MP C401. As mentioned above, the MP C401SR includes a capacity of 250 sheets.
Multifunctional features: As noted above, both machines come standard with printing and scanning. Scan-to functions include email (with LDAP support), folder (SMB and FTP), and URL. Scan-to-media is supported with a USB/SD card, which gives users the capability to scan to a USB flash drive and other similar devices. You can scan to JPEG, PDF, high compression PDF, and TIFF files.
The optional fax kit runs at 33.6kbps with a standard 4MB memory. LAN fax and Internet fax is supported.
The print function includes PCL, PostScript, and XPS. USB and Ethernet connectivity is standard. Wi-Fi is optional. Ricoh offers its Smart Device Print&Scan app for smartphones and tablets, as well as optional HotSpot for printing from mobile devices.
Ricoh’s Document Server can store up to 3,000 documents with a maximum of 2,000 pages per document.
There is a variety of security features, including password protected, user-specific authentication, address book encryption, and data overwrite. A new security feature, called Mandatory Security Information Printing, can list the name and time of printing on the output.

Shortcomings
The MP C401 only handles up to legal-sized paper, so companies that want ledger-sized paper handling should check out Ricoh’s other MFPs.
