Lanier MP 2553 Toner Cartridges

Lanier MP 2553 Printer Review

The Lanier MP 2553 put together printing, scanning, and copying in one laser machine to help conserve space and save users time. Though its output speeds of 25 pages per minute are not overly impressive, the number of upgrade options available allows for more customization than some competing models, and the large touchscreen display makes it much easier to use.

The unit is sometimes referenced as the MP 2553sp due to its scanning and printing features. As a network printer, it is easily connected to the network via ethernet and shared among multiple users. The scanning feature utilizes the 100-sheet automatic document feeder for fast scans of up to 79 images per minute. Users can save scans to file types like PDF and JPEG, and share them via email to save on paper and Lanier MP 2553 printer toner supplies compared to faxing.

The machine itself is fairly bulky, even without upgrades. It measures 32.6x23.1x25.7 inches and weighs 165 pounds with the Lanier MP 2553 toner installed. With a standard paper capacity of 1,150 sheets, it can be expanded further up to a maximum of 3,150 sheets. The control panel includes a large, touchscreen interface, which offers better control and much more customization than the average button-based interface.

Instead of the multiple toners of a color device, users only need to replace one Lanier MP 2553 toner cartridge. This single Lanier MP 2553 toner cartridge can provide up to 11,000 pages before it expires, so users can go a long stretch between replacement supplies.

While its maximum speeds lag behind the competition in some cases, the benefits of the MP 2553 far outweigh this one drawback. Its network sharing features and especially its scanning workflows integrate perfectly with the large touchscreen interface to make it one of the most easy-to-use models in its class.
