You may see the model referenced as the MX-4140, but the "N" is important, as it denotes the networking features, both wired and wireless. The unit features printing, copying, and scanning as standard functions, with an option to add faxing at any point. Control centers around the 10.1-inch color touchscreen interface, which features easy-to-navigate menus that are customizable to help users get to the most important features and options quickly.

The 1200 dpi printing engine produces very sharp output quality from text documents to photos. Users who want to save on supplies can enable the Toner Save mode to reduce the amount of Sharp MX-4140N toner applied to each page. The initial paper capacity starts out at 1,100 sheets, but can be expanded to an impressive 6,600 sheets, equipping it for even the largest office environments.

Replacing four toners is always more strain on the budget, but Sharp MX-4140N toner cartridges are quite affordable considering their large capacities. The cyan, magenta, and yellow supplies have an estimated yield of 18,000 pages each, while the black Sharp MX-4140N toner cartridge can provide up to 40,000 pages of output before needing replaced.

There is no question that the Sharp MX-4140N is an expensive machine to purchase, but it is equally beyond question that it is intuitive and easy to use, fast, and provides sharp output quality. Better still, its low operating costs might just end up helping it pay for itself in the long run.
