Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Lanier MP C2504ex 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 5-25 people that needs occasional 11x17 color in-house without paying floor-standing-MFP money.
  • You print 2,000-6,000 pages a month with a healthy color mix and want a Smart Operation Panel that operators actually like using.
  • You scan stacks of mixed letter/legal originals daily and want single-pass duplex (no flipping).
  • You're standardizing on a Ricoh/Lanier fleet and want one device that drops into Streamline NX or @Remote without a custom driver.
  • You need scan-to-folder and scan-to-email with OCR-searchable PDF as a daily workflow, not a once-a-quarter feature.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 6,000-10,000 pages a month — the engine handles it but at that point look at the C3504 instead, you'll save on per-page cost.
  • You want wireless out of the box — Wi-Fi is an optional unit (Type M37 or M19 wireless LAN), budget around $300 installed.
  • You're replacing an older Ricoh Aficio MP C2503 — operators will adapt in a week, the SOP is the only real change.
  • You need NFC tap-to-print — it works, but requires the optional NFC card reader add-on.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 800 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 — the MP C2504ex was discontinued in 2020 and only 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, the per-page cost is half.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Lanier MP C2504ex is a desktop tabloid (11x17) color laser MFP built for workgroups of 5-25 users that need real A3 capability without committing to a floor-standing chassis. It prints and copies up to 25 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 monthly duty cycle (Lanier recommends staying under 9,000 pages/month for sane consumable economics). Print resolution is 1200 x 1200 dpi and first-page-out is 5.3 seconds black / 7.5 seconds color. The 10.1-inch Smart Operation Panel is the same Android-based touchscreen used on the rest of the current Ricoh/Lanier MP C lineup, which means scan-to-folder, scan-to-email, and the @Remote management agent all work the way your existing Ricoh/Lanier fleet does. Standard connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, and USB host on the front; Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC are optional add-ons. The thing buyers regret: paying for the ex revision of a 2017 platform when they only print 1,500 pages a month — at that volume the older MP C2503 or a desktop A4 unit makes more sense. This unit was discontinued in 2020 and is now sold refurbished or off-lease.
