Sharp BP-70M45

The Sharp BP-70M45 is the 45 ppm A3 mono MFP in the Advanced Series — built for 1-5 person personal/executive offices that print 5,000-12,000 pages a month and want serious throughput without paying for a color engine. Same 24 x 26 x 34 inch floor-standing chassis as the rest of the BP-70 line, same 10.1" tilting touchscreen with retractable keyboard, same 300-sheet single-pass DSPF that scans color at 280 ipm. Print and copy at 45 ppm black, first-page-out 4.5 seconds from the platen. Standard 650-sheet capacity (550-sheet drawer plus 100-sheet bypass), expandable to 6,300 with the optional split tandem and 3,000-sheet LCC. Runs on 110-127V/15A — same circuit as a regular office printer (the BP-70M55 and BP-70M65 step up to 20A). Standard Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0/3.0, 5 GHz Wi-Fi, AirPrint, Universal Print. Cloud connectors for Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Drive, Box, and Dropbox come standard. The thing buyers regret: ordering this for a true "personal" use of 500 pages a month — it's overbuilt for that. If your monthly print volume is under 2,500 pages, the BP-70M31 or a desktop saves real money.
