Sharp MX-B467P

The Sharp MX-B467P is a 46-ppm desktop monochrome laser printer for small offices and workgroups of 5-15 people that need true 1,200 x 1,200 dpi resolution and room to scale paper capacity. It runs PCL 6 and PostScript 3, prints letter and legal (no 11x17), and pulls from a 250-sheet drawer plus a 100-sheet bypass standard (350 sheets), expandable to 2,000 sheets with up to three additional 250 or 550-sheet feed units (MX-CS27 / MX-CS28). The 1 GHz controller has 512 MB of memory, first print is 6.0 seconds, and the front 2.4-inch color LCD with full numeric keypad handles configuration without a touchscreen. Wired interface is Gigabit Ethernet plus USB 2.0; wireless (802.11 a/ac/b/g/n with Wi-Fi Direct) is optional. AirPrint, Android print framework, and direct print of TIFF, JPEG, PDF, GIF, BMP, PNG, PCX, and XPS via FTP, SMB, and email come standard. Footprint is 15.7 x 14.7 x 10.2 inches at 31.1 lb. Blue Angel certified. The thing buyers regret: assuming Wi-Fi was standard. It's not — the wireless module is an add-on. Best for offices that want sharp text, real Gigabit, and the option to stack drawers as volume grows.
