Sharp MX-5110N Toner Cartridges

Sharp MX-5110N Printer Review

With a large touchscreen and gesture control, the Sharp MX-5110N color laser printer makes printing, scanning, and copying easy. High-capacity Sharp MX-5110N printer toner supplies keep the cost per page low, and it can output up to 51 pages per minute, which is perfect for a fast-paced office environment.

Most users will find the gesture controls of the 10.1-inch touchscreen display familiar, as it supports swiping and flicking like a smartphone or tablet. Some users might find its lack of physical buttons to be a downside, though it does include a slide-out keyboard for easier typing. This becomes especially important for its scan-to-email and web browsing features.

An 86 GB hard drive provides a large amount of space for storing digital files. These files are easily accessed from computers on the network, and the Remote Front Panel software provides a quick way to monitor the machine from any networked computer. Users can control various tasks and monitor paper levels and the remaining Sharp MX-5110N toner easily.

For high-volume scanning, the large 100-sheet document feeder is essential. It can handle up to 51 originals per minute, with multiple ways to share within the office network or even outside of it.

As with many color laser models, replacing the four toners can seem daunting. Luckily, it won't need to happen too frequently, with a black Sharp MX-5110N toner cartridge that can yield up to 40,000 pages. The color Sharp MX-5110N toner cartridges are a bit smaller, with yields of 18,000 pages each, but still adequate.

As long as buyers don't mind its lack of physical buttons, the touchscreen of the MX-5110N has a modern flair and its intuitive design walks users through their tasks. It has the quick speeds that high-volume offices need, but is still fairly affordable to operate, making it a good long-term value.
