Lanier 015F

The Lanier 015F is the fax-equipped member of Lanier's compact 015-series multifunction line, a Ricoh-engineered platform sold through Lanier dealers rather than under Ricoh's own badge. Everything it copies, prints or faxes runs through one supply: the Type 1170D black toner cartridge, ordered under Ricoh part 888260 and rated for up to approximately 7,000 pages. There is no color cartridge and no second consumable to track on this machine — when the 015F needs toner, this is the number it needs.

Lanier aimed the 015 series at small offices outgrowing desktop all-in-ones and ready for a genuine workgroup machine that still fits a modest footprint. The 015F suits the office where fax confirmations still accompany orders, signed forms and records, but where nobody wants a separate fax line device gathering dust in the corner. Because the whole 015 family shares one cartridge, the person who orders supplies for this office has exactly one line item to remember.

Which cartridge should you buy?

There is only one cartridge type for the 015F, so the real decision is how many to keep on hand. A single cartridge covers a light-duty machine that mostly copies and receives the occasional fax. Offices that print steadily through the week usually settle on the 2-pack: one cartridge in the machine, one on the shelf, and no gap in output while a reorder ships. The 4-pack suits busier sites and anyone who prefers ordering once and forgetting about toner for months — it also lowers the per-cartridge cost of keeping that safety stock. Whichever size you choose, the cartridge itself is identical: same Type 1170D unit, same roughly 7,000-page rating, same fit. Every compatible cartridge here is backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Each compatible Type 1170D cartridge carries a working chip, so the 015F should recognize a fresh cartridge as soon as it is seated. Slide the old unit out, keep the new one sealed until the moment of the swap, and push it in until it sits firmly — a cartridge that is not fully home is the usual cause of a recognition complaint. The 7,000-page figure assumes standard coverage, so a fax-heavy office sending dense forms will land somewhat under it. When output starts to fade near the end of a cartridge, removing it and rocking it gently side to side redistributes the remaining toner and usually buys a few more clean days while the replacement arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toner does the Lanier 015F use?

It uses the Type 1170D black toner cartridge, Ricoh part 888260, rated for up to approximately 7,000 pages. That single cartridge covers copying, printing and fax output alike — there is nothing else to buy.

Is there a high-yield version for the 015F?

No — Type 1170D is the only cartridge made for this platform, and it is already a healthy 7,000-page unit. If you go through toner quickly, move up a pack size instead: the 2-pack and 4-pack contain the same cartridge at a better per-unit cost.

My office also runs a Ricoh Aficio 1515. Will the same cartridge work?

Yes. The 015F is Lanier's channel version of the same Ricoh-engineered platform, and the Aficio 1515 takes the identical Type 1170D cartridge. One shelf stock can serve both machines.
