Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Lanier MP C5502A 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 — same target as the standard C5502 but you specifically need the A-variant SKU.
  • You ordered the unit through a managed-print contract that specifies the A SKU for inventory matching.
  • You need 55 ppm in both color and black at a fixed paper-handling spec across multiple sites.
  • You're matching an existing fleet of C4502A or C5502A units on the same dealer support contract.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 25,000-35,000 pages a month — engine handles it but you're operating 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 a C5502 — the A variant is functionally the same engine and panel; operators move over without retraining.
  • 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 stacks of duplex originals daily — this is a 100-sheet reversing ARDF, not single-pass. Step to the C5503 platform.
  • You print over 35,000 pages a month — step up to a production class unit (Pro C5100 series).
  • You need the Smart Operation Panel (10.1" Android) — that arrived on the C4504 generation.
  • 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 C5502A is the A-variant of the C5502 — 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. The A designation indicates the alternate dealer SKU configuration (paper handling and tray defaults differ from the standard C5502 at order); the engine, panel, and feature set are identical. 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 / 4.8 seconds color at 1200 x 1200 dpi. 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 runs the classic Lanier interface. Standard connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet plus USB 2.0 host and Type B; Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Parallel are optional. The thing buyers regret: ordering the A variant when the standard SKU was actually what their dealer support contract referenced — verify the SKU before specifying. We sell C5502A units to enterprise accounts on managed-print contracts that specify the A configuration.
