Lanier LF416 Toner Cartridges

Lanier LF416 Printer Review

As a multifunction laser device, the Lanier LF416 is a little weak when it comes to copying and its optional printing feature is a bit slow, at only 15 pages per minute. Where it really excels is in fast, efficient faxing, with a large fax memory and the option for dual-line operation. It also benefits from very affordable Lanier LF416 printer toner supplies, which help to keep the cost per page down.

The LF416 does a good job of handling traditional faxing, but the LF416e model also adds internet faxing, equipping users to send faxes without long distance fees. It also includes features like scan-to-email that can help users save on paper and Lanier LF416 toner by sending files electronically instead.

The LF416 has a Super G3 fax modem that can transmit and receive at 33.6 Kbps, or about 2 to 3 seconds per page. For those who do a lot of sending and receiving at the same time, it can be equipped with an optional second modem for two-line operation.

Paper handling is quite robust for such a compact device. The main paper tray holds 250 sheets, and a bypass tray holds 100 sheets. The paper capacity can be upgraded with additional trays up to a maximum of 1,350 sheets.

The ongoing cost of replacement toners should be a major consideration for any buyer, and Lanier LF416 toner cartridges are some of the most affordable in its class. With Lanier LF416 toner cartridges rated for a yield of around 6,000 pages, the cost per page is extremely low.

The LF416 specializes in quick faxing and it has the feature set to back it up. Buyers who need serious printing, copying, and scanning capabilities may find these functions a bit lacking, however, and should probably look for a multifunction unit with a bit more speed.
