Design
The Ricoh Aficio MPC2051 multifunction colour copier is designed to be a floor-standing device when stacked with additional paper trays. It is compact and does not demand much installation space. The topmost area is home to the flatbed scanner with the ADF, and that is adjacent to the large control panel with the 8.5-inch LCD screen. The MPC2051 printer runs on a 600MHz processor with a 160GB hard disk drive and 1.5GB of RAM. The Aficio MPC2051 prints using the dry electrostatic transfer method.

The eco-friendly Ricoh Aficio MP C2051 is energy-efficient and easy to operate with the intuitive and animated colour LCD display screen.

Disadvantages
Print speeds are not at par with laser printers, clocking in at a maximum of 20ppm in both colour and black-and-white. The Ricoh Aficio MPC 2051 takes time to warm up from power on, and when printing, the copy resolution is only limited to 600x600dpi. The high initial cost of the Aficio MP C2051 laser printer could disappoint the budget-conscious. The device is very heavy, weighing 100Kg.
