Sharp AR-275 Printer Review
For copying and printing, with options for scanning, and faxing, the Sharp AR-275 can handle it all. This fast and efficient multifunction laser printer is built for high-volume use, and has a versatile array of customization options. It prints and copies at up to 27 pages per minute, and uses affordable Sharp AR-275 printer toner with high yields and a low cost per page.
Whether through the flatbed scanner or the automatic document feeder, the AR-275 can handle originals up to 11x17 inches in size, though speeds will be a bit slower for larger media. Users then have the option of sending their scans to a desktop PC, to an FTP file server, or even attached to an email in either PDF of TIFF formats.
When it comes to copies, the first copy out time of 4.8 seconds is impressively quick, and the machine requires a warm-up time of only 40 seconds, making it easy to be up and running in the morning. The paper capacity starts with two 500-sheet main trays, and a 100-sheet bypass tray as standard options. Owners can expand it with two more 500-sheet trays as an optional upgrade, for a maximum of 2,100 sheets.
Buyers concerned about high costs for toners will greatly appreciate the low price and large capacity of Sharp AR-275 toner cartridges. With a yield of around 25,000 pages, the cost per page for Sharp AR-275 toner cartridges is some of the lowest in its class. Using compatible Sharp AR-275 toner as an alternative to name brand supplies will save even more.
With a 1200 dpi resolution to provide detailed prints, especially text, as well as robust scanning features and a quick warm-up time, the Sharp AR-275 is a very appealing choice. Supplies are affordable, and future expansion is possible with optional upgrades.
