Sharp AL-2050FK Printer Review
Expert review of the Sharp AL-2050FK printer
The Sharp AL-2050FK printer and copier is built for heavy duty printing. It offers impressive print and copy rates, which allows better productivity for workgroups. The Sharp AL-2050FK is ideal for office users who share devices, with versatile connectivity and a large internal memory capacity of up to 64 MB. The unit even offers advanced copy options. However, it can only print in monochrome and it lacks other versatile multifunction features like faxing.
Design
The Sharp AL-2050FK measures only about 52x45x37 cm, leaving a small footprint. It has its own automatic document feeder, which makes it easier to scan multiple page documents. It also has a flat scanning surface for copying from thicker originals. The Sharp AL-2050FK is well designed for shared use, featuring an Ethernet port for network setup.
Advantages
Speed is one of the main selling points of the Sharp AL-2050FK. It averages 20 pages per minute, without compromising print and copy quality. The scanner can produce high resolutions up to 600x1200 dpi, and copy enlargement and reduction is from 25% to 400% of the document's original size. Built for workgroup use, the unit can accommodate as many as 250 sheets of print media. The automatic document feeder is capable of automatic duplexing, ideal for copying two sided documents.
Disadvantages
Unfortunately, the Sharp AL-2050FK only offers monochrome printing and copying as the device only uses a single cartridge. The device does not offer fax support, but it does offer electronic sorting.
