Lanier 015SPF

At the top of Lanier's 015 line sits the 015SPF, the full-function version that wraps scanning, printing and fax around a workgroup copier core. For all of that output it depends on a single supply, the Type 1170D black toner cartridge — Ricoh 888260 — rated near 7,000 pages. One cartridge number therefore covers every job this machine does.

The 015SPF was built for consolidation: an office that retires a copier, a standalone scanner and a fax machine in favor of this one cabinet also retires three separate supply habits. Desks scanning contracts to email in the morning and printing reports in the afternoon lean on the same machine, and whoever manages supplies keeps a single cartridge type in the cupboard. That simplicity is the real selling point of the SPF configuration — full function without a full shelf of different consumables.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Because the 015SPF concentrates an office's whole document flow, running dry hurts more here than on a single-purpose printer — copying, scanning-to-print work and fax output all stop together. Treat the pack choice as insurance sizing. A single is fine for a quiet satellite office. Most workgroups are better served by the 2-pack, which pairs the working cartridge with a shelf spare. Sites that consolidated onto the 015SPF and push it hard all week often go straight to the 4-pack, cutting both the per-cartridge cost and the number of reorder conversations per year. The cartridge inside every pack is the same Type 1170D unit rated near 7,000 pages; you are choosing depth of stock, not a different product.

Chip, toner and everyday use

The compatible cartridges listed here include the chip the 015SPF expects, so toner levels report normally after a swap. Change cartridges with the machine powered and follow the prompt sequence on the panel; once the new unit clicks into place, run a test copy to confirm clean output before resuming a long fax or print job. Page ratings assume standard coverage, and scan-heavy offices often forget that only copied and printed pages consume toner — scanning itself uses none. Store spare cartridges flat, sealed and away from direct sunlight so the toner stays evenly settled until installation day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 015SPF need separate supplies for scanning and faxing?

No. Scanning consumes no toner at all, and fax pages print with the same Type 1170D black cartridge as copies and prints. Ricoh 888260 is the only supply number this machine uses.

Do I need to replace a drum unit as well?

Everything listed for the 015SPF on this page is the single Type 1170D toner cartridge — that is the consumable this platform is stocked by. If your machine reports a different maintenance message, that is a service matter rather than a toner order.

Single cartridge or multipack for a busy 015SPF?

For a machine doing the work of three devices, keep at least one spare: the 2-pack is the natural fit, and the 4-pack suits departments printing daily. A dry cartridge on this model idles the whole document workflow, not just one printer.
