Sharp MX-5070V

The Sharp MX-5070V is the V configuration variant of the MX-5070N — same 50 ppm A3 color engine, different finisher and tray packaging at base. Sold today as refurbished or off-lease for offices doing 10,000 to 24,000 pages a month. It supports 50 ppm color and B&W, 11 x 17, duplex print and scan, the early Android-based panel, Gigabit Ethernet, USB, and optional Wi-Fi with AirPrint and Mopria. The thing buyers regret: V and N variants of the same MX line are easy to mix up when ordering finishers, trays, and even toner part numbers — that confusion costs real money on the wrong accessory. Confirm the V suffix on every parts and accessory line. If you do, the MX-5070V is a capable refurb at a workgroup price with a modern enough panel for daily use. New-purchase buyers should look at the MX-5071 for the longer parts runway and current firmware.
