Sharp MX-5000N Printer Review

For buyers looking for high-quality output and fast speeds, the Sharp MX-5000N multifunction color laser printer and copier can deliver. It has a top speed of 50 pages per minute, with a first page out time of 5.9 seconds. Numerous upgrade options are available for customization, and Sharp MX-5000N printer toner keeps office under budget.

The MX-5000N can print, scan, copy, and fax, and it is equipped with an 80 GB hard drive that makes it a pretty good document server on shared networks. An 8.5-inch touchscreen makes accessing features and functions easy, and a retractable keyboard slides out from under the screen. Print quality is also impressive, with a 1200 dpi print resolution that creates sharp results.

Paper handling starts out very robust, with room for expansion. A 100-sheet reversing single pass document feeder is included as a standard feature for fast scans, at up to 50 originals per minute. It also has a large input paper capacity of 1,100 sheets, but can be expanded to a maximum of 5,600 sheets with all available upgrade options added. Finishing options like saddle stitching and hole-punch are available as well, to save some manual labor for users.

Duplexing can help save on paper costs, and a Toner Save mode can help extend the life of the Sharp MX-5000N toner cartridges. Each of the three color Sharp MX-5000N toner cartridges can yield up to 15,000 pages, and the black supply can yield around 20,000 pages, keeping the cost per page low.

For the busy office that needs quick speeds and great document storage options, the MX-5000N is a good fit. Its high-quality color output and affordable Sharp MX-5000N toner make it a strong value for medium or large office environments.
