    Opinions on MP5054 and MP6054 performance

    I am starting to see these coming back to the wholesalers in larger numbers now with a wide range of meter counts.

    I have placed a couple of the MP2554 series in relatively low volume applications and they seem ok so far but I’m wondering how Ricoh has done using this same platform for the 25ppm to 60ppm?

    Really just hoping to get some real world feedback (pros & cons) on these before I start trying to place a 5054.

    I have serviced Kyocera in the past and they pulled it off easily using the same box for 30, 40 and 50ppm so can Ricoh do it going from 25 to 60ppm?

    Primary difference between high end and low end is the toner cartridge. 24K yield for low end, 37K for high end. Same PM cycles same pm kits. Same manuals.

    Thanks but do they run well?

    are the speeding up a 25ppm machine or slowing down a 60ppm machine?

    Got a few of these out, excellent model very reliable drum & fuser always go past PM life.

    Best mono model Ricoh have made.

    I agree. good running copier. fuser is good to about 350k. drum will go to about 250. feed rollers last along time also. I have one that has 900k and I have yet to put feed rollers in it yet.

    The whole 2554-6054, and by extension 2555-6055 series use the same drum and fuser. Many other mechanical parts are the same as well.

    They seem to do best when used at or above recommended volume. I have a 3554 and 5054 with about 600k on each and about the same age, I think the 3554 is in slightly better shape though.

    The fusers are sleeve belt design so life will probably suffer a lot if customer does a lot of low page per job copies.
