Sharp MX-3501N Toner Cartridges

Sharp MX-3501N Printer Review

The Sharp MX-3501N multifunction color laser printer is a little slower than other models in its lineup, but the result is a more affordable price. It can print up to 35 pages per minute, and supports printing, scanning, and copying as standard features. Office managers will appreciate the large capacity and low prices of Sharp MX-3501N printer toner supplies as well.

Not only does the MX-3501 copy, print, and scan, along with optional faxing, but its networking features include document storage. The included 80 GB hard drive provides plenty of space for digital documents, which can then be accessed, shared, or printed from any computer on the network, or even from the control panel itself. A 150-sheet automatic document feeder is an efficient method for fast scanning.

Paper handling is not only flexible, but there is plenty of room for expansion as well. Two 500-sheet paper drawers and a 100-sheet bypass tray make up the standard paper capacity. Adding extra trays can expand the capacity all the way up to a maximum of 5,600 sheets, however. This will support even the busiest office environments without the need for constant replenishment.

Replacing the four toners is nearly as easy as replacing the paper supply. The machine uses four separate Sharp MX-3501N toner cartridges, all with fairly large capacities. The black Sharp MX-3501N toner cartridge has an estimated yield of around 18,000 pages, while each color is rated for 15,000 pages.

The MX-3501N may be too pricey for some smaller offices on a limited budget, but it comes in under many competing models. Slower speeds are a small sacrifice for its many great features and affordability, and buyers can save a lot on Sharp MX-3501N toner compared to more expensive models as well.
