Sharp to Introduce Two New High-Speed Digital Full Color Multifunctional Systems

MX-7001N/MX-6201N Deliver High-Quality Color Imaging, Plus Ability to Use Standard Power Source for Smooth Installation

Press Release

Sharp Corporation will introduce two new high-speed, digital full-color multifunctional systems, the MX-7001N and MX-6201N, that operate on a standard 100V/15A power source, which facilitates new installations of these digital multifunctional systems in existing office environments or as replacement units for equipment currently in use. By eliminating the need for electrical wiring work (200V or 100V/20A power source), these digital multifunctional systems can be smoothly installed and can easily replace existing units.

As the top-end models in Sharp’s MFP line-up, this series of digital full-color multifunctional systems offers high productivity with fast output of 50 ppm color (A4 landscape) and 70 ppm B/W (A4 landscape) (MX-6201N: 62 ppm B/W (A4 landscape)), paper capacity of up to 7,400 sheets, and a wealth of job finishing options such as a Saddle Stitch Finisher and Inserter. Plus, a 10.4-inch touch-screen color LCD control panel provides superb visibility and ease of operation.

In addition, the heating system in the toner fixing section has been improved to allow these models to operate on standard 100-V power outlets rated at 15 amps. This eliminates the need for new electrical work to install a source of 200-V power, or 100-V power rated at 20 amps, which is typically required for high-speed digital full-color MFPs rated at 50 color ppm or higher, and facilitates new installations of these models or as replacements for existing equipment.

Also, Sharp’s popular Mycrostoner has been improved for use in these models, and Sharp’s proprietary Enhanced Sharp Auto Color Mode automatically distinguishes from among documents of different types and sizes to select the optimum paper size and deliver high-resolution, high-quality printed output.

These digital full-color multifunctional systems offer a way to flexibly meet the needs of a wide range of customers through the ECOLUTION®*1 concept advocated by Sharp, including high environmental performance by conforming to the international Energy Star Program and green purchasing laws, as well as incorporating security functions that emphasize safeguarding personal information and internal controls.


Main Features
1. Eliminates the need for new wiring work to provide 200-V, or 20-amp 100-V, power service. Ability to operate on a standard 100-V, 15-A power source enables smooth, trouble-free installation.

2. Improved Sharp proprietary Mycrostoner and optimum copy mode set by the Enhanced Sharp Auto Color Mode delivers high-resolution, high-quality copies.
