Sharp MX-M5071

The Sharp MX-M5071 is a current-generation 50 ppm A3 monochrome MFP for workgroups, departments, and shared print zones doing 12,000 to 26,000 B&W pages a month. It runs 50 ppm at 1200 x 1200 dpi, supports 11 x 17, has the current 10.1 inch Android-based touchscreen, 150-sheet dual-pass DSPF, 650 sheets standard input expandable to 6,300, AES-256 encryption, motion-sensor wake, Gigabit Ethernet, USB, optional 802.11 a/b/g/n, AirPrint, Mopria, and Sharpdesk Mobile. The thing buyers regret: the base price excludes finisher, second drawer, and stand — a real workgroup config lands 1,500 to 2,200 dollars over the base. Pin down the full configuration at quote. Once you do, the MX-M5071 is the standard pick when buyers outgrow a 40 ppm A3 mono and need real workgroup throughput, with a strong cost per page and a 5-year parts pipeline.
