Sharp MX-2651

The Sharp MX-2651 is the 26-ppm A3 color multifunction in Sharp's 2018-era MX-2651/3051/3551/4051/5051/6051 line, sized for workgroups of 10-25 people printing 1,500-4,000 pages a month. It prints and copies 26 ppm in both mono and color on letter (15 ppm on tabloid), scans up to 80 ipm through the standard 100-sheet RSPF, and ships with 650 sheets standard, expandable to 6,300 sheets across optional drawers. The 10.1-inch tilting multi-touch color LCD with the modernized Sharp UI is the user-facing panel — drag-and-drop home screen, pinch/spread gestures, advanced preview. Print Release (pull printing), Cloud Connect (OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, SharePoint Online), and Sharp OSA are in the base controller. PCL 6 is standard; Adobe PostScript 3 is the optional MX-PK11 kit. The 500 GB internal hard drive holds Document Filing for up to 30,000 pages. Connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0 standard; Wi-Fi via the optional MX-EB18 adapter. The thing buyers regret: speccing the MX-2651 in 2024 when the current BP-50C26 runs the same 26 ppm, ships with the same 10.1" tilting panel, and adds native Microsoft Teams folder scan and Universal Print in the base. The MX-2651 is a fine machine on an existing service contract.
