Sharp Corporation will introduce into the Japanese market two types of digital MFPs in three models specifically designed to deliver maximum performance using A4-size paper. The new MX-C312SC Digital Full-Color MFP and the MX-B382 and MX-B382SC Digital MFPs offer advanced features such as high-speed full-color and B/W output in a compact body size.

These models are specifically designed to handle input/output of A4-size paper, the size most frequently used for business documents. They feature a compact body with a small footprint that fits easily even in tight office spaces such as around desks. They support high-speed output and use Sharp’s proprietary Mycrostoner HG® toner that enables high-image-quality output. In addition, they offer a suite of enhanced features and support scanning of document originals in a wide range of sizes, including business cards, licenses, and credit cards.*1

Further, Sharp will be adding two new printers to its lineup: the MX-C380P Digital Full-Color Printer and the MX-B382P Laser Printer, and will be offering systems optimized to meet user needs, including higher efficiency in the office and lower operating costs.
