Lanier 117
The Lanier 117 is Lanier's badge on Ricoh's 15 ppm-class digital system — a workgroup copier-printer aimed at offices standardized on Lanier service and supplies. Its cartridge is the Type 1170D, catalogued as Ricoh 888260, a black toner unit rated at about 7,000 pages. One number, one cartridge, no color companions to manage.
Longevity is the 117's quiet advantage. Because the machine shares its engine with Ricoh's own models, parts and supplies stayed easy to source long after Lanier branding faded from new equipment sales. Offices that bought the 117 years ago are still running it today, and the cartridge supply chain never broke — the Type 1170D remains a standard stocked item precisely because so many of these engines are still in service.

Which cartridge should you buy?
Buying toner for the 117 starts with a naming tip: some catalogs file this cartridge under its Type 1170D name, others under the Ricoh number 888260 — they are the same cartridge, and this page uses both so you can match whichever label is on your old box. On quantity, a single cartridge suits the lightly used departmental machine. Workgroups printing every day will prefer the 2-pack rhythm — install one, shelve one — while the 4-pack gives the best per-cartridge value for offices that measure toner in cases. There is no higher-yield alternative to graduate to; the 7,000-page Type 1170D is the cartridge for this machine, in every pack size.
Chip, toner and everyday use
These compatible cartridges are chipped for the 117 platform, so the machine accepts them and reports toner status without complaint. Swap with the front cover procedure in the manual, let the new unit settle into its guides, and print a test page before sending a long job. Expect the rated yield only at standard coverage; the bold, dense output of a busy workgroup will use toner faster. Near the end of a cartridge, a gentle side-to-side rock evens out what toner remains and can rescue a fading afternoon of print runs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What number do I order toner by for the Lanier 117?
Order Ricoh part 888260, the Type 1170D black cartridge. If your existing box says Type 1170D, it is the same supply — the two labels describe one cartridge.
How many pages does the 117's cartridge print?
About 7,000 pages at standard coverage. Dense workgroup output lowers the count; light copying raises it. The rating is a planning figure, not a promise per box.
Will this cartridge also fit the Lanier 117SPF?
Yes. The Lanier 117SPF is the multifunction sibling of the 117 and runs on the identical Type 1170D cartridge.
Are these genuine Lanier cartridges?
They are compatible replacements manufactured for this platform, complete with a working chip, and backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns — the practical route now that the machines themselves are long out of production.
