Sharp MX-5111N Printer Review

While innovations in other areas of technology move quickly, printers and copiers tend to move more slowly. That is why the Sharp MX-5111N multifunction color laser printer is particularly impressive. Not only does it feature quick speeds of up to 51 pages per minute and affordable Sharp MX-5111N printer toner, but its touchscreen interface is a bold leap forward from previous models.

The MX-5111N is designed for copying, scanning, and printing, with an optional faxing component for buyers who need it. The network scanning function is quite advanced, with up to 7 destinations or scanned files, including network folders, email, and USB memory devices. Users can even save a group of recipients that includes a mix of locations.

Sharp didn't skimp on the paper handling, with two 500-sheet drawers and a 100-sheet bypass tray as standard features. With full upgrades installed, it can even expand to an impressive 5,600 sheets. Getting documents in is just as easy as getting them out, with a 150-sheet document feeder that handles duplex documents in a single pass. It is fast, as well, at speeds of up to 75 originals per minute. This makes it an excellent choice for offices transitioning from paper to digital workflows, and potentially saves Sharp MX-5111N toner costs by doing less printing.

High-capacity toners make for a more cost-effective device, and the black Sharp MX-5111N toner cartridge is particularly impressive, with a yield of up to 40,000 pages. Though the color Sharp MX-5111N toner cartridges have smaller capacities of 18,000 pages each, the balance should be adequate for most office users' needs.

With everything from quick printing to seamless digital workflows, there is very little the Sharp MX-5111N can't handle. Its purchase price may be a bit high for limited budgets, but low operating costs and numerous upgrade options make it worth the investment.
