Lanier 116SPF

The 116SPF is the full-configuration version of Lanier's rebadged Aficio 2016: scanning, network printing and fax join copying in one compact chassis, so a single machine carries an office's whole document routine. Everything it puts on paper comes from one black cartridge, the Type 1130D, which you reorder under part number 888215. Expect approximately 9,000 pages per cartridge, and choose below between the single cartridge, a 2-pack and a 4-pack of the compatible version.

Consolidation was the point of the SPF trim. One box meant one maintenance routine and one supply line, and for a busy small office that simplicity still holds up: whoever orders toner only ever orders one thing. The trade-off is that print, copy and fax output all drink from the same cartridge, so a 116SPF typically works through toner faster than a print-only machine of the same age — worth remembering when you decide how much stock to keep.

Toner Cartridges for Lanier 116SPF

Cartridge	Color	Page Yield
Type 1130D (888215)	Black	Approx. 9,000 pages
Type 1130D (888215) 2 Pack	Black	Approx. 9,000 pages per cartridge
Type 1130D (888215) 4 Pack	Black	Approx. 9,000 pages per cartridge

Which cartridge should you buy?

Add up all four jobs before choosing a pack size. A 116SPF that prints, copies and receives faxes all day accumulates pages much faster than its print queue alone suggests. Occasional users can run cartridge to cartridge with singles. A typical busy office belongs on the 2-pack, which pairs the working cartridge with a shelf spare and turns a toner warning into a two-minute job instead of a purchase order. Where this machine is the only MFP on the floor, the 4-pack is the honest choice: same cartridge, same approximately 9,000-page rating, lower cost per cartridge, and enough depth that a heavy week cannot strand the office.

Chip, toner and everyday use

After fitting a new cartridge, run one copy and one print job to confirm the machine has settled — output should be uniformly dark on both. If the first pages look patchy, take the cartridge back out and rock it gently side to side; toner that shifted in transit levels out and the patchiness usually goes with it. Store spares flat, sealed, and somewhere cool rather than on top of the machine itself, where heat rises. And remember the rating behind the 9,000-page figure: it is measured at about 5% coverage, so fax pages and copies of light originals stretch a cartridge further than bold printed reports do.

Frequently Asked Questions

What toner fits the Lanier 116SPF?

The black Type 1130D cartridge, part number 888215 — the same unit the base 116 and the Ricoh Aficio 2016 use. One cartridge feeds copying, printing and printed faxes alike.

Does the fax function need its own supply?

No. Incoming faxes print through the same Type 1130D cartridge as everything else, and sending a fax from a scan uses no toner at all. There is no separate fax cartridge or ribbon on this machine.

Are these original Lanier cartridges?

They are compatible replacements matched to the original's fit and roughly 9,000-page yield, backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns. They install in the 116SPF exactly like the original unit.

The new cartridge is in, but prints still look light. What now?

Remove the cartridge and check that the protective seal came fully away, then rock it gently side to side and refit it until it clicks. If density is still low after a few test pages, the previous cartridge may not have been the whole story — but in most cases the seal or settled toner is the culprit.
