      Do you know if Kyocera also sell this model and what model it is?
      They will be using the same feed tyres but ricohs will be far more expensive

          Thanks for that
          One of the only models I can't get parts for, typical.
          How did you know that was the same model, did you read it somewhere or just general knowledge?

              Do you know what I just found a massive guide of all kinds of brands that use each others parts and models etc and Just found these parts through kyocera and just as I thought only a third of the price. Win.

                  Most likely Kyocera rebrands it's printer for Ricoh as Kyocera printers continue to struggle for market share

                              The entire PCDU units are compatible with each other -- I work for a dealer that sells both and had to try this for troubleshooting light copies on a ricoh mp501.
                              The toners are not compatible however due to the ID chips.




                              I had light copies twice -- first time was engine board, second time (on different machine) was the high voltage board.
