Lanier LD140C
Under the Lanier badge, the LD140C is a compact color multifunction system for workgroups that need A3 color without giving up floor space to a departmental copier. It corresponds to Ricoh's MP C400-class hardware, and it runs on the C300 toner series. The black cartridge is 841295 at approximately 8,300 pages; cyan is 841296 at approximately 10,000 pages. Both are sold here as compatible singles, so each color is renewed on its own schedule.
A3 in a small footprint is the LD140C's reason to exist: ledger-size spreadsheets, oversized charts and booklet proofs that a letter-only machine simply cannot run. Workgroups that outgrew a desktop color printer but do not print enough to justify a full-size MFP land here. Sharing a toner family with the smaller LD130 models also means a mixed fleet — an LD140C in the main office, LD130s in satellite rooms — can be stocked from one short list of cartridges.

Which cartridge should you buy?
Buying for this machine is a two-cartridge routine. Black (841295) carries the everyday load of text and forms and is rated at roughly 8,300 pages; cyan (841296) is rated higher, around 10,000 pages, yet in graphics-light offices it still tends to outlast the black simply because fewer pages lean on it heavily. Order singles as each color runs down instead of replacing the pair together — the LD140C tracks each cartridge separately, and swapping early throws away paid-for toner. If the machine sits in a shared corridor, one spare black beside it prevents the Monday-morning empty-printer problem.
Chip, toner and everyday use
The LD140C reads each cartridge's chip on install, so push the new unit straight in until it seats — a half-latched cartridge is the usual cause of a toner-not-recognized message. When output starts to fade, lift the cartridge out and rock it gently end to end a few times; the redistributed powder often carries you to the end of the week. Page ratings are measured at 5% coverage, and A3 color pages cover far more of the sheet than that, so treat the printed ratings as best-case figures. Keep unopened spares in their bags, away from heat and humidity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which toner does the Lanier LD140C take?
The C300 series: black 841295 (approx. 8,300 pages) and cyan 841296 (approx. 10,000 pages), both listed in the table above as compatible singles.
Is the LD140C the same machine as a Ricoh model?
It corresponds to Ricoh's MP C400-class hardware and takes the identical C300 cartridges as its Ricoh-branded twin. The badge on the front differs; the supplies do not.
Can I replace just the cyan cartridge?
Yes. Black and cyan are separate cartridges with separate lives, and the machine reports each one on its own. Replace only the color that is empty.
Do these cartridges also fit the LD140CSR?
Yes — the CSR trim shares the same engine and the same C300 family, and the cartridges are fully interchangeable across the LD130 and LD140 range.
