Sharp has introduced next-generation, colour workgroup MFPs that offer businesses affordable, high-quality colour combined with enhanced ease of use, robust security, and superior performance and productivity. There is a choice of two models: the 31 pages per minute (ppm) MX-3100N and the 26-ppm MX-2600N.

The use of a fast processor and advanced single-pass printing technology lets both machines print and copy in colour as quickly as they do in black & white. This is supported by rapid scan speeds of up to 50 originals per minute and a reduced warm up time.

Other performance features include Tandem Print, which means that jobs can be finished twice as fast by sharing them between two machines, and Sharp’s Printer Administration Utility,(PAU). PAU is a web-based utility that lets network administrators quickly and easily manage fleets of MFPs direct from the desktop.

Both models have been designed to enable faster workflows and greater efficiency in the office. Document originals - which can be a mixture of colour and black & white in different sizes up to A3 - can be scanned in batches of 100 at a rate of 50 originals per minute and various file formats including XPS, TIFF, PDF, encrypted PDF and JPEG are supported.

Scanned documents can be saved directly to a PC, network destination or USB memory stick, emailed to any valid address or, with an appropriate application, automatically directed to an existing workflow thanks to Sharp OSA (Open Systems Architecture).

Sharp has also formulated new oil-less toner and developer for the MX-3100N/MX-2600N, which was specially formulated to reproduce accurate, natural-looking colours, very fine lines, small characters and tricky halftones.

The new formulation, together with a true 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution and a useful range of finishing options for automatic stapling, saddle stitching and hole punching, gives any workgroup the ability to produce professional-looking documents in-house.

Even the most sophisticated functions of the MX-3100N/MX-2600N are easily mastered, thanks to a large, touch screen colour LCD panel, an optional retractable keyboard for data entry and a host of intuitive, user-friendly features including image previews and thumbnail views, plus a front-access USB port for walk-up printing and document filing.

A variety of document filing functions - some with encryption and password-protection - are supported by an 80 GB internal hard drive, making it easy to recreate jobs by accessing stored documents from the front panel display and/or from across the network.

“These new machines are not only exceptionally capable but they’re easy to own and operate, too,” said Edmar Perdon, General Manager Marketing Information Systems. “They even look great, with a sleek, grained exterior designed to make them look right at home in any modern office.”

The new MFPs are equipped with a number of useful security features for protecting confidential information from deliberate or accidental interception.

Documents can be scanned directly into a password-protected encrypted PDF format; a PIN-protected printing function prevents documents from being left in the open by requiring the operator to be present at the MFP during printing, and the Document Control feature can be used to prevent controlled documents from being copied or scanned. SSL is supported to protect network communications from hacking attacks and an optional Data Security Kit, which adds data encryption and overwriting, is also available.

The 31 pages per minute (ppm) MX-3100N and the 26-ppm MX-2600N will be available in a number of configurations. As the next generation of Sharp’s award-winning range, they have been designed to build on earlier successes while retaining the focus on quality, colour and performance across the full spectrum of print, copy, scan and fax functions.
