Lanier 230
Everyday reliability is the Lanier 230's whole proposition: Lanier's badge on a trusted multifunction platform, delivering the copy, print and scan functions offices use every single day. It feeds on the Type 2120D toner cartridge, part number 888169, at approximately 11,000 pages per install, matching its Ricoh and Savin siblings supply for supply.
Lanier dealers have long pointed growing businesses to the 230 as a dependable first multifunction machine, and the supply story supports the recommendation. One common black cartridge, shared across a large family, means a small business stocks one item and never has to learn a complicated consumables chart.

Which cartridge should you buy?
New owners can keep this decision small, because the single, the 2 Pack and the 4 Pack all contain the same Type 2120D cartridge. Start with a single if the 230 is your first multifunction and volumes are still forming. Once the machine becomes the office's daily driver, the 2-pack is the natural step: the warning light stops being an errand because the next cartridge is already in the building. Businesses running several family models, or simply buying for the year, choose the 4-pack for its lower per-cartridge price; the 888169 supply fits the Lanier 330 and every other model below, so bulk stock always finds a machine.
Chip, toner and everyday use
A working chip comes fitted in each compatible cartridge on this page, so the 230 recognizes the supply and reports its level without coaxing. Installation is a lift-out, drop-in swap; rocking the new cartridge gently beforehand spreads the toner evenly after its journey in a delivery box. If prints fade near the end of a cartridge's life, that same rocking trick can recover a few more usable pages while the replacement is on its way. Expect the approximately 11,000-page rating to hold for ordinary text documents at 5% coverage, and keep spares sealed and stored flat.
