Sharp MX-M7570

The Sharp MX-M7570 is a 75 ppm A4 monochrome multifunction built for high-volume offices that hit 75,000 to 200,000 pages a month and want a single device for print, copy, and high-speed scan. Resolution is 1200x1200 dpi, the 150-sheet duplex single-pass feeder scans at 200 ipm, and warm-up is 43 seconds from cold. Paper capacity is 3,200 sheets standard and 6,700 sheets max. Finishing options include 50- or 100-sheet staple, saddle-stitch booklets up to 20 sheets, a 3,000-sheet stacker, and folding kits. The 10.1-inch color touchscreen is the current-generation Sharp UI. Energy use is reasonable for the speed class and the device is Energy Star qualified. The thing buyers regret: the published 22,500 pages-per-month figure on the spec sheet is conservative — real high-volume buyers can run 4-5x that, but if your dealer quotes a click rate based on the 22,500 number, you will overpay on monthly minimums. Negotiate the click rate against your actual volume.
