Lanier LD 160

Ranges have sweet spots, and the Lanier LD 160 was positioned squarely on this one's. Lanier's take on Ricoh's Aficio 2060 platform brings 60-page-per-minute-class departmental output to offices that found the LD 151 a touch slow and the LD 175 more machine than they needed. Its toner is the family standard: the Type 6110D cartridge, 885400, with a 43,000-page yield for offices that print in serious volume.

That middle position shapes how the machine gets used — typically as the hub for a demanding office or a cluster of teams, running shared print, copy and scan work all day. Lanier's dealer channel sold it into exactly those accounts, where the purchasing logic is fleet logic: the LD 160's cartridge is interchangeable with its siblings', so one stock line supports every badge and speed class in the department.

Toner Cartridges for Lanier LD 160

Cartridge	Color	Page Yield
Type 6110D (885400)	Black	Up to 43,000 pages
Type 6110D (885400) 2 Pack	Black	Up to 43,000 pages per cartridge
Type 6110D (885400) 4 Pack	Black	Up to 43,000 pages per cartridge

Which cartridge should you buy?

Think in terms of the machine's calendar. A single Type 6110D delivers up to 43,000 pages, which on a hub machine still translates into a predictable, infrequent swap cycle — fine if someone owns the reordering. Where nobody owns it, things run dry at the worst time, and the 2 pack's built-in spare removes that failure mode for little extra commitment. The 4 pack is the fleet answer: departments running an LD 160 alongside other family machines can pull every swap from one bulk stock, and the per-cartridge cost of thinking ahead is lower than the cost of one stalled afternoon.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Slide the compatible cartridge in and its chip registers with the machine, keeping the toner gauge honest. The 43,000-page rating is measured at roughly 5% coverage, so form-heavy and report-heavy departments should expect their mileage to vary with what actually goes on the page. Fading output near the end of a cartridge usually means toner has settled unevenly — a slow side-to-side rock levels it and buys time. Keep the next cartridge in its sealed packaging in a cool place, and rotate stock so the oldest spare is used first.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the toner number for the Lanier LD 160?

885400 — the Ricoh Type 6110D black cartridge. It is the only toner this machine uses, and it is shared with the Aficio 2060 platform the LD 160 is built on.

Can the LD 160 and LD 151 share a toner shelf?

Yes. Both machines — and the LD 175 above them — run the same Type 6110D cartridge, so a mixed Lanier department needs exactly one cartridge type in the cupboard.

How do I know the cartridge is nearly empty?

The machine reports toner levels on its panel thanks to the cartridge chip. When the warning appears, you typically still have time to finish current work and fit the spare.
