Lanier LD 115

Lanier's LD 115 is the channel name for the Ricoh Aficio 2015, the entry-level machine of this multifunction family: compact digital copying and printing in a modest footprint, at the lowest price point of the range. Its supply could hardly be simpler — one black cartridge, the Type 1130D, which you order by its full Ricoh reference, part number 888215. Each cartridge is rated for approximately 9,000 pages, and the compatible version below comes as a single, a 2-pack or a 4-pack.

The LD 115 was many small offices' first step into true digital multifunction — a real copier-printer that did not demand a facilities budget or an IT department to look after it. That profile still defines the machines in service today: modest monthly volume, long gaps between supply orders, and an owner who wants the reorder to be foolproof. Ordering by the 888215 reference rather than the LD 115 name is the foolproof part, because it is the number every supply chart for this family is built around.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Honest volume is the whole decision here. At a small office's pace, a single roughly 9,000-page cartridge can last many months, so tying money up in a 4-pack rarely pays unless the LD 115 is the only machine you own and it can never be allowed to sit empty. Most owners should buy the single cartridge and reorder when the warning shows. Step up to the 2-pack if the machine is your sole copier and printer combined — that way a spare is always in the building. Whichever size you pick, the cartridge inside is identical; only the count and the per-cartridge price change.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Slow consumption changes how you should store toner. A spare bought today might not be fitted for a year, so keep it sealed in its bag, flat, in a cool dry cupboard — opened cartridges and damp storage are what cause clumping and streaky output later. When a cartridge does go in, rock it side to side a few times first so the toner sits level, and expect the first pages to run slightly light while it settles. The 9,000-page rating assumes about 5% coverage; an office printing full-page letters all day will land somewhat under it, which is normal rather than a defect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toner does the Lanier LD 115 use?

The black Type 1130D cartridge, Ricoh part number 888215, rated for approximately 9,000 pages. If a supply chart lists the Aficio 2015 instead, it is describing the same machine and the same cartridge.

Is the LD 115 really the same machine as the Ricoh Aficio 2015?

Yes — same platform, different channel badge. Ricoh sold it as the Aficio 2015; Lanier dealers sold it as the LD 115. Parts and supplies, including the Type 1130D cartridge, are interchangeable between the two.

Are the cartridges here original or compatible?

Compatible. They are built to match the original cartridge's fit and page yield, and they carry a 1-year warranty with 1-year returns — the practical protection an owner of an older machine actually needs.

One cartridge should last us ages. Any reason to buy more than one?

Only convenience and insurance. If being unable to copy for two days would hurt, keep a 2-pack's spare on the shelf; if not, buy singly and reorder at the warning. The toner itself does not care which way you choose.
