Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Lanier MP C5502 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 department of 25-50 people printing 12,000-25,000 pages a month with regular A3 (11x17) color and need 55 ppm throughput.
  • You're standardizing on Lanier or Ricoh and want the matched 8.5" tiltable panel as your prior C4502 unit.
  • You want a sub-$8K used floor unit with 1,200-sheet standard capacity (expandable to 4,400) and full network scan.
  • You need 3.1-second first-copy black for short-job throughput where wait time matters.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 25,000-35,000 pages a month — engine handles it but you're working closer to the duty cycle ceiling than ideal.
  • You want wireless out of the box — Wi-Fi is an optional interface, not standard.
  • You're replacing an MP C5501 or C5500 — operators move over without retraining; only the panel cosmetics differ.
  • You need finishing — internal, 1,000-sheet stapler, 1,000-sheet booklet, and 3,000-sheet finisher all bolt on as options.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You scan 200+ duplex pages a day — this is a 100-sheet reversing ARDF, not single-pass. The C5503 ships with the 220-sheet SPDF at 180 ipm duplex.
  • You print over 35,000 pages a month — the C6502 or step up to a production unit (Pro C5100 series).
  • You need the Smart Operation Panel (10.1" Android) — that arrived on the C4504 generation; this is the 8.5" classic panel.
  • You're looking for a current-production unit with full warranty — discontinued, sold refurbished or off-lease.
  • You don't have a Lanier or Ricoh dealer relationship — supplies and firmware ship through authorized channels.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Lanier MP C5502 is an A3 (11x17) color laser MFP built for departments of 25-50 users printing 12,000-25,000 pages a month with regular tabloid color. It prints and copies 55 ppm in both black and color from two 550-sheet drawers plus a 100-sheet bypass (1,200 sheets standard, expandable to 4,400 with the Tandem LCT and Side LCT). Lanier rates the chassis at 200,000 pages max monthly. First-copy-out is 3.1 seconds black / 4.5 seconds color at 1200 x 1200 dpi from the 4-drum print engine — the fastest first-copy in the C-series of its generation. The 100-sheet Automatic Reversing Document Feeder (ARDF) handles mixed-size originals up to 11x17, and standard auto duplex covers both print and scan. The 8.5-inch tiltable color control panel is the classic Lanier interface — customizable home screen, one-touch shortcuts, and Web Image Monitor for fleet management. Standard connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet plus USB 2.0 host and Type B; Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Parallel are optional. The thing buyers regret: heavy scan workflows expose the reversing ARDF — the C5503 ships with a 220-sheet single-pass duplex feeder at the same footprint. We sell C5502 units to mid-size law firms, healthcare offices, and engineering firms that need 55 ppm A3 color on a 286-lb floor footprint.
