Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Ricoh Aficio Mp 2851 is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run a small office or workgroup of 5-15 people that needs A3 (11x17) black-and-white output in-house.
  • You print between 1,500 and 8,000 pages a month — well inside the 100,000-page duty cycle but not so heavy that the 28 ppm engine becomes a bottleneck.
  • You want a real floor-standing copier (dual 500-sheet trays, 1,100 sheets standard) instead of a desktop MFP that runs out of paper twice a week.
  • You're replacing an older Aficio or Savin/Lanier rebadge and want a known platform your service tech already supports.
  • You scan multi-page contracts or invoices to email or a network folder and don't need single-pass duplex speed.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print up to 12,000 pages a month — the engine handles it but the 100-sheet reversing ADF will feel slow on big batch scans.
  • You need fax — it's an optional kit on this machine, not standard, so plan for the line item.
  • You want Wi-Fi or Bluetooth — both are optional accessories, not built in.
  • You're buying used — these are 2008-era units, so check the meter count and confirm the maintenance kit (PM at 90,000 pages) has been done recently.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need color. This is mono only — get an MP C-series or a current IM C model instead.
  • You print under 500 pages a month — you're paying for an A3 floor-standing copier you don't need. A desktop MFP costs less and takes a fraction of the space.
  • You need single-pass duplex scanning at 80+ ipm — this uses a reversing ADF that flips each sheet, so duplex scanning roughly halves throughput.
  • You need current Windows 11 or macOS Sequoia drivers without workarounds — Ricoh's last driver updates for this platform are aging and some features (scan-to-folder over modern SMB) need config tweaks.
  • You want a small footprint — this is a 26.8 x 26.4 x 29.5 in floor unit at roughly 143 lb; it's a real copier, not a desktop.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Ricoh Aficio MP 2851 is a black-and-white A3 multifunction copier built for small offices and workgroups of 5-15 people that need real tabloid (11x17) output without the cost or footprint of an enterprise machine. It prints and copies 28 pages per minute at 600 x 600 dpi, with a 4.5-second first copy, and is rated for a 100,000-page monthly duty cycle (Ricoh's realistic range is 1,500-12,000 pages/month). Standard paper capacity is 1,100 sheets across two 500-sheet trays plus a 100-sheet bypass, expandable to 3,100 sheets with the optional paper bank. The 100-sheet reversing ADF (ARDF) and 8.5-inch color LCD are fine for routine scanning to email, SMB, or FTP, but if you scan two-sided originals all day long the reversing mechanism is the bottleneck. The thing buyers regret: assuming Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and fax are standard. They are not — each is an optional kit on this platform. This unit is a 2008-era Aficio that's been a workhorse in legal, education, and small-business offices for years; if your tech already supports the MP 21/MP 25 series chassis, parts and toner are still readily available. For higher volumes (15,000+ pages/mo) or mixed color work, step up to the MP 3351 or a current IM-series model.

FAQ

Ricoh Aficio Mp 2851, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (704) 741-0821 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the Ricoh Aficio MP 2851 ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner has an estimated yield of 11,000 pages at 6% coverage. The replacement toner model is the Ricoh Type 2120D / 841337, which also yields approximately 11,000 pages. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Ricoh Aficio MP 2851 prints at 28 pages per minute with a 100,000-page monthly duty cycle, while the Ricoh IM 2500 prints at 25 pages per minute and is designed for mid-sized offices. The IM 2500 features a faster 220-sheet single-pass document feeder (240 images per minute) compared to the MP 2851's 100-sheet reversing ADF. Additionally, the IM 2500 includes a 10.1-inch Smart Operation Panel and supports firmware updates over the network, whereas the MP 2851 has an 8.5-inch LCD and lacks built-in Wi-Fi or fax. For small offices needing basic tabloid output, the MP 2851 is a cost-effective choice, but the IM 2500 offers better scanning and modern features for higher-volume environments.
The Ricoh Aficio MP 2851 is well-suited for small businesses with 5–15 employees, offering a print speed of 28 pages per minute and a monthly duty cycle of up to 100,000 pages (realistically 1,500–12,000 pages/month). It supports tabloid (11x17) output and includes standard features like scanning and copying. However, if your business requires higher volumes (15,000+ pages/month) or color printing, consider stepping up to a commercial option like the Ricoh MP 3351 or IM-series models.
No, the Ricoh Aficio MP 2851 is a monochrome printer and only supports black-and-white printing. If you need color printing, consider alternatives like the Ricoh MP C3004, Ricoh MP C3504, or Ricoh MP C4504.
