Look forward, work faster
Make your high-volume office more dynamic with the scalable RICOH IM C6500 Color Laser Multifunction Printer (MFP). Print, copy, scan and fax at optimal speed with a device designed specifically to keep pace with emerging document management demands. It's compatible with Ricoh's Cloud Workflow Solutions, so you can automate everyday tasks, reduce manual touchpoints and share information faster.
Add efficiency on demand
Choose the IM C6500 MFP to regularly update the software powering your intelligent device. With RICOH Always Current Technology, you can expand the capabilities of your device to grow with your business. The platform allows you to install new features as they become available without calling a technician or waiting until the end of a contract.
Multi-task at maximum speed
Produce high-quality color output at up to 65 pages per minute (ppm) and scan two-sided originals at 240 images per minute (ipm) with the Single Pass Document Feeder (SPDF). Use the optional Small Paper Feeding Unit for postcards, checks and other smaller originals. Share digital files via multiple Scan-to capabilities. Choose optional paperless faxing to send and receive documents securely via email. Ensure every page of important documents is scanned with the optional Double Feed Detection Unit.
Control your own workflow
Personalize the way you work from the highly responsive 10.1" Smart Operation Panel (SOP)RICOH Intelligent Support* for How-to Videos or to share access to the SOP with remote Ricoh technicians for fast, thorough troubleshooting. Learn more about the enhanced SOP using the online Smart Operation Panel Simulator.

Access what's most important
A built-in motion sensor powers up the SOP upon your arrival. Use the SOP to access up to 3,000 frequently used documents stored on the Document Server. With optional optical character recognition (OCR), you can place metadata on documents, files and images and search via keywords. Use the embedded Web browser to search the web for information or access today's most popular cloud-based applications.
Finish with a colorful flourish
Produce impressive full-color brochures, proposals, presentations and more in-house for less — by taking advantage of multiple finishing options. The IM C6500 uses advanced technology to assure every page is bright, vivid and clear with 2,400 x 4,800 dpi resolution. Print on a wide range of media, including envelopes and thicker stocks. Choose from multiple automated finishing capabilities to simplify hole-punching, booklet-making, cover insertion, z-folding and more.
Multi-task on the move
Use the RICOH Smart Device Connector app, AirPrint® or MopriaTM to print directly from your iOS or Android smartphone or tablet. Grab files directly from the device or your favorite cloud applications and send them to the IM C6500 for printing. Don't worry about the MFP being out of paper — you can expand paper capacity up to 8,100 sheets. You can also share files with other Ricoh devices, including projectors and flat panel displays, for large group collaborations.
Make accountability an advantage
Restrict access to key MFP functions via passwords and user codes. Track user activity, specific projects and bottleneck delays. Pair the device with optional RICOH Streamline NX to issue chargebacks to users and workgroups. Use Locked Print to hold documents in queue until an authorized user releases them. The Ricoh-only operating system minimizes OS-specific threats while data encryption and latent data overwrite help protect information on the hard drive.
Put your energy to smart use
The IM C6500 is ENERGY STAR® certified and EPEAT® Gold Rated with a Typical Electricity Consumption (TEC) at 1.217 kWh/week. The device can be programmed to power off automatically during idle office hours. Default duplex printing reduces paper costs. To reduce color output, administrators can set quotas and restrict specific users to black-and-white printing only. An Eco-Friendly Indicator monitors paper usage and shares reminders with users about best print practices and behaviors.
