document tasks quickly and easily. That is why the RICOH Aficio® MP 171 is
the right choice for fast-paced small offices and departmental workgroups.
It delivers all of the capabilities you need — and the value you demand
— in a single, compact system.
1,350 sheet paper capacity.
17 page-per-minute output speed.
Copy, scan and fax large documents such as booklets, brochures and
oversized pages on the legal-size platen.
One standard paper tray and two optional paper trays to accomodate letter,
legal-size and specialty stock papers.

to the system with the Mail-to-Print feature.

standard 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet and USB 2.0 interfaces, as well as
optional Gigabit Ethernet, IEEE 802.11a/b/g and IEEE 1284 interfaces.

which enables you to print PDFs without opening each file in Adobe®
Acrobat®.
Utilize a wider range of print streams with PCL5e/6, support for XPS and
optional genuine Adobe® PostScript® 3™.
Distribute full-color documents via Scan-to-Email or to network folders via
Scan-to-Folder.
Make any hard copy document portable in seconds with the Scan-to-Media
option, which loads scanned files directly to a USB drive or SD card.
Protect sensitive or confidential scanned documents with security
features,including encrypted PDF transmission.
Retrieve fax numbers and e-mail addresses directly from your corporate
address book, with LDAP support.
Deliver fax documents to any destination without leaving your desk with LAN
faxing, which saves time and money.
Forward incoming faxes to an e-mail address, so users can receive important
documents anywhere — even if they are away from the office.
Reduce document distribution costs dramatically with advanced IP (T.38)
faxing, which delivers fax documents almost instantaneously over IP
networks, or with Internet (T.37) faxing.
Super G3 fax modem transmits each page in just two seconds.
Ensure security with multi-level Authentication which lets you confirm user
identity and control access to scanning and other functions.

It requires a password before it releases any file for output and deletes
the file automatically from the MFP’s optional hard drive.

(DOSS) feature, which overwrites the hard drive after every job. Or use the
HDD Encryption option to safeguard valuable data, even if the hard drive is
stolen.

feature encrypts PDF data prior to transmission via Scan-to-Email and
