Product Overview
The MP C6503 and MP C8003 are the new-generation high-volume MFPs that replace the older MP C6502 and MP C8002 that were released in 2013. The MP C6503 copies and prints at 65ppm in both black and color, while the MP C8003 has a speed of 80ppm in both black and color. Both devices offer standard copying, printing and scanning as well as optional faxing.

Both devices include a 1.9GHz processor, 4GB of memory and two 320GB hard drives. PCL is standard, but PostScript is optional. USB and Ethernet connectivity is standard, and Ricoh offers optional parallel and wireless connectivity. Mobile printing is supported via Ricoh’s Smart Device Connector app, as well as Airprint and Mopria certified.
