Sharp FO-DC525 Toner Cartridges

Sharp FO-DC525 Printer Review

At its core, the Sharp FO-DC525 is a compact laser fax machine, but it has more advanced features than buyers might expect. Its control panel is also very impressive, with a tilting display that makes it much easier to use. Add that all together with affordable Sharp FO-DC525 printer toner and you have a winning solution for faxing.

With the FO-DC525, the company made a solid design choice. Instead of cramming the control panel into the available space at the front of the machine, they utilized the top of the document feeder. This allows for a large control panel along with a 4.7-inch tilting display that can be angled for better viewing. Users can easily monitor paper levels and remaining Sharp FO-DC525 toner from the display as well.

The unit can handle duplex scanning, and along with faxing it can operate as a fairly basic copier. Users who want network printing and scanning can add these features as optional upgrades, but it won't necessarily be as cost-effective as choosing a machine with these features included in the first place.

The FO-DC525 starts with a larger paper capacity than other models in its lineup, which should please buyers in a more high-volume office environment. It includes both a 250-sheet tray and a 500-sheet tray, both of which can handle either letter or legal size paper for more flexibility.

Saving on toners is the main reason to choose a laser model, and the low cost of Sharp FO-DC525 toner cartridges won't disappoint. Replacement Sharp FO-DC525 toner cartridges have larger capacities than the starter supply, with yields of up to 6,000 pages.

For a dedicated Super G3 fax machine solution, it doesn't get much better or more affordable than the Sharp FO-DC525. Buyers who need multifunction capabilities will probably find upgrading to be too expensive to be worth it, however.
