Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Sharp MX-M904 is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • Pick this if you have a print shop or in-plant op running 150,000+ mono pages a month and you found a refurb at the right price.
  • Pick this if your dealer carries this platform and stocks parts.
  • Pick this if you need fast A3 ledger output for booklets, manuals, or large-format internal docs.
  • Pick this if you want low cost-per-page on heavy mono volume.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you're replacing an even older production mono device and need a stopgap for 2-3 years.
  • It's fine if your team already knows Sharp production controllers and you don't want a learning curve.
  • It's fine if you mostly print and your scan workload is moderate.
  • It's fine if your volume is closer to 100,000 pages a month and you got a great deal.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need color.
  • Skip this if you are buying new — this generation is past its prime.
  • Skip this if your dealer can't commit to parts availability for the next 3 years.
  • Skip this if your volume is under 50,000 pages a month.
  • Skip this if you need current cloud-scan integrations — older firmware lags here.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Sharp MX-M904 is a 90 ppm monochrome production multifunction — the kind of machine print shops, in-plant operations, and high-volume back offices buy when their previous copier couldn't keep up. Resolution is 1200x1200 dpi, the device handles A3 ledger work natively, and the 150-sheet duplex single-pass feeder keeps the scan engine fed. Paper capacity stretches well past 6,000 sheets with the optional high-capacity feeders, and finishing options cover staple, saddle-stitch booklet, fold, and large stackers. Volume sweet spot is 150,000 to 300,000 mono pages a month. Toner is high-yield and cost-per-page is genuinely low when you run the device hard. The thing buyers regret: this is older Sharp hardware. Firmware updates are slowing down, finding service techs who still know the platform takes work, and parts are getting harder to source. If you can find one off-lease at a good price and you have a service contract from a dealer who stocks parts, it's a tank. Buying new in 2026 is the wrong move — look at the M905 or current Sharp production line instead.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

FAQ

Sharp MX-M904, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (215) 999-8445 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the Sharp MX-M904 ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner has a yield of approximately 120,000 pages at 5% coverage. The replacement toner model is the Sharp MX-900NT, which also yields 120,000 pages. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Sharp MX-M904 is a monochrome printer with a speed of 90 ppm, designed for high-volume production environments, while the Sharp BP-70C31 is a color printer with a speed of 31 ppm, suited for workgroups needing color printing. The MX-M904 has a higher monthly volume capacity (150,000 to 300,000 pages) and uses high-yield toner (120,000 pages), whereas the BP-70C31 offers color printing, advanced scanning features, and modern security protocols like WPA3 and TLS 1.3. For small offices needing color, the BP-70C31 is a better fit due to its versatility and modern features.
The Sharp MX-M904 is designed for high-volume environments, with a monthly page volume of 150,000 to 300,000 pages and a speed of 90 ppm. While it is a robust machine, its high capacity and monochrome-only printing may be excessive for a small business. If your business requires color printing or has lower volume needs, consider stepping up to a commercial option better suited for small offices.
No, the Sharp MX-M904 is a monochrome printer and can only print in black and white. If you need color printing, consider alternatives like the Sharp BP-70C31, which offers color printing at 31 ppm, or other color multifunction printers in Sharp's Advanced Series.
