Is this the right printer for you?
Who the Lanier IM C2000 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 small business or workgroup of 5-15 people that needs A3 (11x17) color in-house at a low monthly volume.
You print 800-3,000 pages a month — the IM C2000 is the entry point in the IM C-series and sits well in this range.
You want one machine that does color print, copy, scan, fax up to tabloid without paying for the 30-ppm or 45-ppm tier.
You want the 10.1-inch Smart Operation Panel (same as the IM C3000/C4500/C6000) so users can run Always Current Technology apps and scan-to-email out of the box.
You'll occasionally print on 12x18 stock (covers, oversized flyers) — supported via bypass.
Works fine
You'll be happy if...
You print 3,000-6,000 pages a month — the engine handles it, you're just amortizing a 40,000-page duty-cycle MFP over a smaller monthly footprint.
You want a single-pass duplex ADF — the standard ADF is reversing (ARDF, 100 sheets); the SPDF is an optional swap if you scan two-sided originals heavily.
You need wireless — Wi-Fi and NFC are optional accessories, not standard.
You're replacing a Ricoh MP C300 or MP C401 — operators move over fast, panel and workflow are the same family.
Look elsewhere
Skip this if...
You print over 6,000 pages a month consistently — you'll outpace the toner economics here. Step up to the IM C3000 (30 ppm, 80,000-page duty cycle) for the same chassis at higher volume.
You need fast color throughput — 20 ppm is the slowest tier in the IM C-series. If your job mix is color-heavy and time-sensitive, the IM C3000 or higher is the right pick.
You only print mono — you're paying for a color engine and color toner you don't need. The IM 350F or IM 430F mono A4 is cheaper.
You don't have an A3 use case — the C2000 is built around tabloid color. If 8.5x11/8.5x14 is all you ever need, an A4 color MFP is half the footprint.
You don't have a Lanier/Ricoh dealer — supplies and firmware ship through dealer channels.
Full specifications
Every spec, no guessing
The Lanier IM C2000 is the entry-level model in the Lanier IM C-series — a floor-standing A3 color laser multifunction (print, copy, scan, fax) for small workgroups of 5-15 people that need 11x17 color in-house but don't run high monthly volume. It prints and copies at 20 ppm in both black and color, scans through a 100-sheet reversing ARDF (single-pass duplex SPDF is optional), and ships with two 550-sheet trays for 1,100 sheets standard, expandable to 2,300. Print resolution is up to 1200 x 1200 dpi, first copy is 5.1 seconds black and 7.4 seconds color. The 10.1-inch Smart Operation Panel runs the same Always Current Technology apps as the bigger IM C-series, so scan-to-email, scan-to-folder, FTP, internet fax, and USB are standard. Connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0; Wi-Fi and NFC are optional. Monthly duty cycle is 40,000 pages — the unit will hit it but recommended volume is lower. The thing buyers regret: ordering the C2000 and outgrowing it within a year. If your color volume is climbing or you do color-heavy job mixes, jump straight to the IM C3000 (30 ppm, 80,000-page duty cycle) — same chassis, same panel, just more headroom.
Three ways to get this printer, each priced to match how you actually use it. Most
small offices lease because toner and maintenance are bundled. If you know what you need, buy
outright. If you already own one, just reorder supplies.
Final lease rate depends on term length, credit profile, and bundled supplies. Outright purchase and
supplies pricing varies with bundled warranty, install packages, and order volume. Request a quote for
exact pricing.

FAQ
Lanier IM C2000, common questions
The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (888) 574-5120 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.
Yes, the Lanier IM C2000 ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner yields approximately 10,500 pages for color (cyan, magenta, yellow) and 16,500 pages for black. Replacement high-yield toner cartridges (models 842307 for black, 842308 for yellow, 842309 for magenta, and 842310 for cyan) are also available, offering the same yields. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Lanier IM C2000 is a color multifunction printer designed for small workgroups, offering 20 ppm in both black and color, a 40,000-page monthly duty cycle, and standard features like scan-to-email and a 10.1-inch touch panel. In contrast, the Lanier Pro C7100S is a high-speed production press optimized for print shops, delivering 65 ppm in color and black, with a focus on high-volume output (50,000–200,000 pages/month) and advanced finishing options like booklet makers and perfect binders. The Pro C7100S lacks scanning capabilities but includes optional fifth-color toner for specialty printing. For small offices, the IM C2000 is the more practical and cost-effective choice.
