Saw one of these more than a year ago sitting in one of Ricoh's labs and its finally on the market. Looks interesting. Its basically the MP301 type display mounted on a printer based MFP with an MSRP of $1,099.

To me, it looks more like a replacement for the SP5200s/5210sf series.
Looks like it is taking the place of the SP 4410sf(Lexmark.)
We have one on our showroom floor now. Not sure I like the toner/drum cartridges. Hope they are as reliable as the MP301 but have my reservations. We didn't have a lot of luck with the SP5200.
Would have sold a lot of 5200s if the cost per page were better. I'm guessing Ricoh made the cost per page artificially high on this product to protect their sales of other products.
Ricoh has launched a parallel line with the MP401 and SP 4520 that have .01 CPC under contract. The price of the hardware bumps up considerably but that CPC will help a few fleets.

In the training materials, it said the CPC should be under $.010 for supplies (excluding parts & labor), but I can tell you that my CPC(which is based on Ricoh's Cost Fact Sheets) is nowhere close to that.
