Lanier SP C232SF Toner Cartridges

Lanier SP C232SF Printer Review

Lanier is known for its efficient, reliable designs, and the Lanier SP C232SF multifunction color laser printer is no exception. In this case, users get the same great features of larger models, but in a more compact frame that is a great fit for smaller offices. The cost of replacing Lanier SP C232SF printer toner is higher than some competing models, and its speeds are a bit limited at only 21 pages per minute, however.

The SP C232SF has a compact design that takes up a minimal footprint. The machine measures 18.7x16.5x19.4 and weighs around 66 pounds. Its input tray is internal, and the output tray is located near the top of the machine, so it doesn't require a lot of extra space. With a standard paper capacity consisting of a 250-sheet main tray and a 1-sheet bypass tray, some offices might find it runs out too often, but a 500-sheet additional tray is available as well.

The unit can print at a resolution of up to 2400x600 when using color Lanier SP C232SF toner, which will provide high-quality prints with a lot of detail. The control panel provides easy access to its multiple functions, and the included software provides OCR capabilities for converting paper documents into digital files with editable text. The PC Fax feature even allows users to send a fax right from their desktop, saving paper and time.

The four standard Lanier SP C232SF toner cartridges have capacities of 2,500 pages each, and are a bit expensive. The high-capacity Lanier SP C232SF toner cartridges can provide up to 6,500 pages each, however, for a lower cost per page. Still, the cost per page for the high-capacity toners is around 2 cents a page, which is more expensive than some of its competition.

Overall, small offices will like the Lanier SP C232SF and its combination of solid office functions for a low upfront price. It is easy to use and offers a solid color printing solution, but running costs could get expensive for offices that do a lot of printing.
