Lanier 5222 Toner Cartridges

Lanier 5222 Printer Review

The Lanier 5222 can be configured as a basic laser copier, and it will perform at speeds of up to 22 pages per minute. A modular design opens up the possibility of adding scanning, copying, and faxing to the mix, however, making it a much more capable machine. This also means buyers won't pay for features they don't need.

With walk-up copying as its main job, buyers should add the reversing automatic document feeder at a minimum, but its networking printing capabilities are impressive. The main limitation however is its 600 dpi resolution, and networking requires a separate upgrade as well, as there are no connection options in the base configuration.

The 5222 starts with a roomy input paper capacity of 1,000 sheets, divided between two 500-sheet trays. Additional trays can boost its paper capacity even more, and several finishing options are available as upgrades.

Features like Auto Tray Switching and Auto Paper Selection are very convenient. The Photo Mode can improve copy quality for photos, though the results won't be as good as they would for a higher-resolution machine. The Combine Copy can potentially reduce paper usage and conserve Lanier 5222 printer toner, as it combines 2, 4, or 8 pages onto one copy.

Users won't have to work too hard to conserve toners, as Lanier 5222 toner cartridges are very affordable. With a yield of up to 11,000 pages for each Lanier 5222 toner cartridge, the cost per page is one of the lowest in its class, making it a very cost-effective solution for a busy office.

If properly configured, the 5222 has a wide range of features and functions that can cater to the exact needs of almost any work environment. If users don't mind its moderate output speeds, the savings on Lanier 5222 toner alone make it worth a serious look.
