Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Ricoh Aficio Mp 6500 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 department of 30-80 people that needs a 65-ppm A3 mono MFP for high-volume print, copy, scan, and optional fax.
  • You print 8,000-22,000 pages a month — the 6500 is rated for ~275,000 but lives best in this range.
  • You scan multi-page originals up to 11x17 daily through the 100-sheet ARDF.
  • You need 4,300-sheet standard capacity (3,100-sheet tandem + 2x550 + 100 bypass) for unattended long jobs.
  • You want true 1200 x 1200 dpi mono output for clean small text and crisp graphics.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print up to 30,000 pages a month — engine is rated for it.
  • You add the 4,000-sheet LCT — total goes to 8,300 sheets capacity.
  • You want wireless — IEEE 802.11b is an optional card on this generation.
  • You add finishing — 2,000-sheet saddle-stitch, 3,000-sheet, and Z-folding finishers bolt on.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 4,000 pages a month — overkill.
  • You need color. Mono only.
  • You need single-pass duplex scanning — this is a reversing ADF; move up to 6002 generation if scanning speed matters.
  • You need a current Ricoh service contract — this is a 2007-era platform, long discontinued. Used/refurb only with independent service.
  • You need 11x17 from the tandem tray — Tray 1 is letter-only; A3 feeds from Trays 2/3.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Ricoh Aficio MP 6500 is a 65 ppm A3 mono multifunction designed for departments of 30-80 users that need a high-volume workhorse for print, copy, scan, and optional fax. It prints and copies at true 1200 x 1200 dpi, with a first copy time of 3.5 seconds and a 30-second warm-up. Standard paper capacity is 4,300 sheets — a 3,100-sheet tandem letter tray plus two 550-sheet user-adjustable trays plus a 100-sheet bypass — expandable to 8,300 sheets with the optional 4,000-sheet LCT. The 100-sheet ARDF handles double-sided originals up to 11x17, with scanning to email, network folder, the 80 GB HDD, FTP, SMB, or scan-to-URL. Memory is 256 MB std / 512 MB max (basic) or 512 MB on the SP variant. Connectivity is 10/100 Ethernet plus USB 2.0 standard; Gigabit, 802.11b Wi-Fi, IEEE 1394, IEEE 1284, and Bluetooth are options. Finisher options include 2,000-sheet saddle-stitch, 3,000-sheet, and Z-folding units. The honest part: this is a 2007-era platform that Ricoh discontinued years ago. The mechanics are reliable and aftermarket toner is plentiful, but only buy used/refurb if you have an independent service tech. The thing buyers regret: skipping the optional fax option at install and ordering it three months later at a higher line-item price.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

FAQ

Ricoh Aficio Mp 6500, 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 6500 ships with a starter toner cartridge that yields approximately 43,000 pages at 6% coverage. The replacement toner model is Type 6110D / 841332, with high-yield options available that can yield up to 61,000 pages. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Ricoh Aficio MP 6500 is designed for departments of 30-80 users with a speed of 65 ppm and a monthly duty cycle suitable for high-volume office use. In contrast, the Ricoh IM 7000 is a production-class MFP built for 100+ users, offering 71 ppm and a higher monthly duty cycle of 300,000 pages. The IM 7000 features a larger paper capacity (expandable to 8,700 sheets), a more advanced Android-based UI, and is better suited for print rooms or in-plant operations. For small offices, the MP 6500 offers a more cost-effective solution with sufficient speed and features.
The Ricoh Aficio MP 6500 is designed for departments of 30-80 users and may be overkill for a small business due to its high-volume capabilities (65 ppm) and large paper capacity. While it offers robust features like scanning to email and network folders, its size and production-level specifications might not align with the needs of a small office. For smaller businesses, consider stepping up to a more commercial option tailored to lower volumes.
No, the Ricoh Aficio MP 6500 is a monochrome printer and only prints in black and white. For color printing, consider alternatives like the Ricoh IM C3000, Ricoh IM C4500, or Ricoh IM C6000, which offer color capabilities suitable for business needs.
