Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Lanier MP C2004 is actually for

Most equipment pages just tell you what a device does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We offer equipment for every business need, but the right machine depends on your specific workflow.

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run a workgroup of 5-20 people that needs occasional 11x17 color output (12x18 / SRA3 supported) without floor-standing-MFP money.
  • You print 1,500-4,000 pages a month with a healthy color mix and want the 10.1" Smart Operation Panel as standard.
  • You scan stacks of mixed letter/legal originals daily and want a 100-sheet ARDF (note: ARDF, not single-pass on this base model).
  • You're standardizing on the current Ricoh/Lanier Smart Operation Panel fleet so workflow apps and widgets carry across.
  • You need scan-to-folder, scan-to-email, and OCR-searchable PDF as daily workflows.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 4,000-7,000 pages a month — the engine handles it but the C2504 (25 ppm) or C3004 will give you better per-page cost.
  • You want wireless out of the box — Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC are all optional units (Type M37/M19), budget around $300 installed.
  • You're replacing an MP C2003 — same chassis class; the 10.1" Smart Operation Panel is the immediate win (it was optional on C2003).
  • You need single-pass duplex scanning — that's the C2004ex variant, this base C2004 still uses the ARDF.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 500 pages a month — you're paying for a 197-lb tabloid color MFP and using maybe 3% of it. Get a desktop A4 unit.
  • You need finishing (staple, hole-punch, booklet) — finishers are not available on this chassis, that's why C3504/C4504 exists.
  • You're looking for a brand-new unit with full warranty — discontinued; sold refurbished or off-lease now.
  • You need genuine OEM toner via retail — Lanier supplies ship through authorized dealer channels, not big-box retail.
  • Your color volume is essentially zero — get a B&W MP 2555/3055 instead.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Lanier MP C2004 is a desktop tabloid (11x17) color laser MFP built for workgroups of 5-20 users that need real A3 color (12x18 / SRA3 / 12.6") without committing to a floor-standing chassis. It prints and copies at 20 ppm in both black and color, holds 1,200 sheets standard across two 550-sheet drawers and a 100-sheet bypass, and is rated for a 1,000,000-page max engine ceiling (Lanier recommends staying under ~9,000 pages/month for sane consumable economics). First-copy-out is 5.4 seconds black / 7.6 seconds color and warm-up is around 26 seconds. The 100-sheet Automatic Reversing Document Feeder (ARDF) handles two-sided originals by flipping them — for single-pass duplex (SPDF), that's the C2004ex variant. The 10.1-inch Smart Operation Panel is standard on this generation (it was optional on the C2003) and runs the same widgets and workflow apps as the rest of the current Ricoh/Lanier MP lineup. Standard connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet, three USB 2.0 ports, and an SD card slot; Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC are optional. AirPrint and Mopria are standard. The thing buyers regret: assuming the C2004 has single-pass duplex — it doesn't, that's the C2004ex. Launched 2017, discontinued — sold refurbished or off-lease now.
