Sharp attempts to simplify document management, security, and productivity with the MX-3110N, a multifunction copier with scan and print features. The Sharp MX-3110N colour laser printer is significantly easier to operate because of the touch-screen control panel, which functions similarly to tablet PCs. Although it is aimed at larger offices, the standard paper capacity and print speeds are not enough to meet the demands in high volume jobs.
Design
The Sharp MX-3110N colour copier weighs 73Kg and features an understated matte frame and a sleek operator panel and flatbed scanner with an auto-duplexer and document feeder. The MX3110N laser printer has a 100-sheet bypass tray and a default 500-sheet bottom paper cassette. The focal point of this machine is the touch-screen control panel with a retractable keypad for easier operation.
Advantages
The 10.1-inch colour touch-screen of the Sharp MX-3110N multifunction printer can be tilted for a comfortable view, and the home screen may be personalised to match specific needs. There are action menus to make the Sharp MX-3110N colour laser MFP easier to operate. Security features include overwrite protection, data encryption, and ample memory for 1,000 user accounts. The MX 3110N printer is network-ready with 3GB of shared memory so speed won't be compromised. The economical Sharp MX-3110N copier cartridges produce up to 24,000 pages in black or approximately 15,000 pages per colour toner.
Disadvantages
Fax and finishing options are optional. The Sharp MX-3110N photocopier can take up space when additional paper facilities are added on both sides. The standard bypass tray and paper cassette may not be enough for high volume printing. While additional paper trays can be purchased, that would mean spending more for the already expensive Sharp MX3110N MFP.
