Can someone tell me the drum yield on the Ricoh MP2500? And, do you think this copier is capable of handling 100,000 copies per year? Thanks for your opinions.

100,000k pa
100k per annum equates to 273.97 copies per day, 7 days a week at 25 copies per minute.Thats roughly 12 minutes of operation a day. So I think yes. As for the drum yield you'd have to look that up under the pm schedule in the service manual. Hope this helpsGrant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. -
I have a few of these on my patch. one has done almost 500k in 14 months and the biggest problem is the wear on the dev unit. The gears in the dev box and the mag rollers wear like no other m/c . 15k a month seems to be the recommended monthly max.Comment

Jesus that thing's getting battered, it's done just under half it's volume life in 14 months!It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.Comment

yeah, the gears do go bad often. I have also had problems with the toner supply units. The green handle gets to the point that its nearly impossible to lock into place. For $36, I just replace them.
I have nearly 100 of them at a university, complete with the 500 sheet finisher, and the loving 798-01 code!Comment

Sorry to disappoint you!
Accordingly with RICOH recommended PM cycle the PCU unit should be inspected every 60K and replaced at 600K and the drum should be replaced every 60K together with cleaning blade, cleaning brush, charge roller, pick off pawls and of course developer rplc at 60K....but at 5% coverage.
If the customer has heavy coverage don't expect to last 60K.
If the coverage is light and the machine maint at regular intervals you can go over the specs.Comment
