Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Lanier SP C840DN 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 print 5,000 to 25,000 pages monthly in a medium workgroup.
  • Color is 30%+ of monthly volume.
  • You receive 100% of jobs digitally without scan needs at this device.
  • You need 1,200+ sheet standard capacity for unattended runs.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 3,000+ pages monthly with growth.
  • You'd use auto-duplex for cost savings.
  • You handle stocks up to A4 with mixed media types.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Color is less than 20% of volume, a mono workgroup saves money.
  • You need scan, copy, or fax functions, get an MFP variant.
  • You print under 2,000 pages monthly, desktop printers fit.
  • You print over 30,000 pages monthly, A3 workgroup MFPs scale better.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Lanier SP C840DN is a 45 ppm color and 45 ppm B&W A4 single-function workgroup printer (the DN suffix means duplex network, no scanner). Resolution 1200x1200 dpi standard, two 550-sheet trays plus 100-sheet bypass for 1,200-sheet standard capacity expandable to 4,700 sheets. Single-pass duplex print built in, network connectivity standard, optional wireless. Sized for medium offices and workgroups doing 5,000 to 25,000 monthly pages where everything comes in via network from desktops and the scanner head would be wasted. Misclassified in catalog as Multifunction, actual configuration is single-function (DN). The buyer regret on the SP C840DN is the same as with most workgroup-class color printers: paying for color economics on a workload that's mostly mono. Color toner runs 4-6x the cost per page versus mono, and shops printing less than 20% color end up paying premium for capability that goes mostly unused. If color is genuinely 30%+ of monthly volume, the C840DN earns its keep. Below 20%, a mono workgroup printer plus an A4 color desktop saves real money.
