COLOR DIGITAL IMAGING SYSTEM
LD215cg

The one system you’ve been waiting for
Now small businesses and workgroups can get all
the must-have tools they need to do business—
copy, print, scan and fax—in one multifunctional
system that’s easy on your budget. Plus, you get a
very big additional bonus: you can copy, print and
scan in color when you need it, using GelSprinter™
technology. There’s simply no other device that
combines so much power with so much value.
More performance for your budget
The Lanier LD215cg does more than give you up to
four high-performance office systems—copier, printer,
scanner, fax—in one. You can scan documents and
e-mail them or save them to folders. The system also
provides numerous features for creating professional
documents. And, while there are other multifunctional
systems on the market, they’ve never been offered at
such a value.
• Save space with a compact footprint and replace up to four other
single-use office systems.
• Scan documents into the format you need—TIFF, PDF or JPEG—
with clear 600 x 600 dpi resolution.
• Create professional documents using a wide range of print layouts.
Add watermarks, custom logos or text on each page, reduce or
enlarge documents, and more.
• Add the optional fax feature and take advantage of convenient
basic, Internet, LAN or IP-faxing, as well as Inbound Fax Routing.
• Protect your business and critical documents with enhanced security
features such as user codes, authentication, encryption, unauthorized
copy control, hold print, and more.
Say more with color
When you add color to documents, you do more than
add impact. Color attracts more attention and it’s an
effective way to emphasize critical facts. In fact, tests
have shown that color increases reader retention by
over 75%. Using your Lanier LD215cg, you can:
• Enhance marketing pieces, presentations, proposals, newsletters,
and more with color.
• Scan color documents and create electronic files that cost nothing
to share—no matter how many people you send them to.
• Eliminate expensive outsourcing costs for color printing.

Convenient, user-friendly design
Whether at your desktop or standing at the system,
your Lanier LD215cg makes it easy to quickly produce
professional documents. The control panel features easy-
to-read controls and an LCD screen, so you can quickly
navigate through and select from numerous functions.
Lanier’s WebSmartDeviceMonitor™and Web Image
Monitor™also let you manage and monitor print jobs
from the convenience of any connected PC.
• Connect seamlessly right out-of-the-box to a network or PC via
10/100BaseT Ethernet or a USB 2.0 Interface. Or connect wirelessly.
• Users can enter e-mail addresses manually, store them in the system
or access corporate directory e-mail addresses via LDAP.
• The PCL 5c/6 print drivers or optional Adobe®PostScript®3™lets
you print from the most common business applications.
Get more done, faster
The Lanier LD215cg is fast enough for a wide range
of applications. Plus, you won’t have to stand around
waiting for that first black & white copy—it outputs
in just 9.7 seconds. And, while it “sleeps” to save
electricity costs, it fires right back up in just 5.5 seconds.
• Enjoy rapid printing with up to 15 ppm in black & white and up
to 6 ppm in color.
• Enjoy one-click printing convenience. Lanier’s Refined Print Command
Stream (RPCS™) driver lets you save custom printer settings for common
jobs under individual icons.
• Save time with PDF Direct Print and print PDFs without opening
Adobe®Acrobat®.
• Keep production moving with a generous paper capacity—
up to 1,351 sheets.
Share color documents
instantly and without
spending a dime with the
Color Scan-to-Email feature.
Just scan and send!
Copy, scan, print and fax with one compact
device—and in color when you need it.

Quality you can count on
The Lanier LD215cg features GelSprinter™, its
latest printing technology. Using fast-drying Viscous
Ink and a wide print head, the Lanier LD215cg
rivals the speed of laser printers without the budget-
consuming investment.
• The advanced scanner and print heads deliver true 600 x 600 dpi
resolution for sharp text and high-quality images on standard paper.
• The belt-feeding system prevents paper from wrinkling, improves
print quality and virtually eliminates paper jams.
• Standard DeskTopBinder™V2 Lite and optional DeskTopBinder™V2

you can merge Word and Excel files into a robust sales presentation.

extremely low.
• Color mode controls—save supply costs with automatic controls
that conserve ink and extend the life of each color cartridge.
• Color Scan-to-Email and to folders—share color documents
without paying for color printouts or postage.

save paper costs and filing space.
• @Remote, Lanier’s Intelligent Remote Management System—
sends meter data automatically.

commitment to developing office solutions
with environmentally friendly and superior
energy- and supply-saving features, without
