Copier Machine ( Colour ) SHARP MX-4101N/4100N

COPYING & NETWORK PRINTING

The tandem printing engine with four in-line drums helps the MX-4101N/4100N deliver a fast output of 41 cpm/ppm* in full colour and in B/W. And the first copy comes out in just 6.7 seconds in full colour and 4.7 seconds in B/W. What’s more, its short, straight paper path minimises misfeeds to save you paper and toner costs. *   A4 (8 1/2" x 11"), long-edge feeding

The MX-4101N/4100N’s Scan Once/Print Many function only requires a single scan of a multi-page original for copying, and the RIP Once/Print Many function only needs to download print data once from the PC for printing. The machine then automatically saves the data into memory and outputs collated sets of copies or printouts in the proper page order (electronic sorting), with each set offset stacked for easier retrieval.

The MX-4101N comes standard with a highly efficient 150-sheet DSPF (duplex single pass feeder), which scans both pages of two-sided documents up to A3 (11" x 17") in size in one pass. Doing away with the reversing circuit minimises paper misfeeds and vastly improves reliability. The MX-4100N is equipped with a 100-sheet RSPF (reversing single pass feeder).

The MX-4101N/4100N can make two-sided copies and printouts using its built-in stackless duplex module, effectively reducing paper costs as well as saving filing space. Duplex copying is even more effective when used together with the DSPF/RSPF.

When two MX-4101N/4100Ns are connected to the same office network, you can use both simultaneously to double copying/printing output to up to 82 cpm/ppm. Large-volume jobs can be completed with ease, enabling you to meet tight deadlines.

The MX-4101N/4100N makes it easy to create professional-looking booklets. The chapter divide function lets you print out all chapters starting on either odd- or even-numbered pages to give documents a consistent, polished look. The newly designed Saddle Stitch Finisher option staples documents up to 50 pages long and can fold and staple sets of documents up to 15 pages long to make completed booklets. It also features a new bi-foldingfunction that folds individual pages, up to size A3, in half—eliminating the tedious task of folding pages by hand. A space-efficient Finisher is also available for jobs that require only simple sorting and stapling, while another option, a4,000-sheet Finisher, speeds through large projects to give you complete control over deadlines. And, an optionalPunch Module allows you to punch holes in documents for easy filing.

For high-volume work, the MX-4101N/4100N can accommodate an optional 3,500-sheet large-capacity tray and stand with 2 x 500-sheet paper drawers for a total capacity of 5,600 sheets. The Auto Tray Switching function automatically switches to another paper tray filled with the same size paper, allowing you to do extra-large volume jobs.

The MX-4101N/4100N easily handles large-volume copy jobs exceeding the DSPF/RSPF’s 150/100-sheet*1 capacity. For example, a 270-sheet original can be scanned as batches of 150 + 120 (or 100 + 100 + 70) sheets and automatically stored on the MX-4101N/4100N’s hard disk*2. Users can then print the entire document in a single run. *1:   A4 (8 1/2" x 11"), 80 g/m2 *2:   The number of pages that can be stored for the Job Build function depends on the machine's HDD capacity and other conditions.

• The MX-4101N/4100N works as a network printer with the latest and most commonly used operating systems and network protocols, including IPv6, and even in mixed OS environments. With a 64-bit, 1 GHz CPU, you get fast, powerful network printing via the 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet standard. • The MX-4101N/4100N supports PCL5c and PCL6 printer languages. For compatibility with PostScript 3, the MX-PKX1 PS3 Expansion Kit is available.

Sharp thoroughly revamped its imaging process for the MX-4101N/4100N; now a high-performance processor, a new developer, and the new Mycrostoner-HG (High Grade) combine to provide breathtaking image quality. The smaller particle size of Mycrostoner-HG and the developer allows for reduced graininess and clear reproduction of fine lines and halftone colours.

The MX-4101N/4100N’s print engine provides razor-sharp 1,200-dpi printing—without sacrificing output speed—for ultra-clear image quality. Fine lines and small text come out crisper and easier to read.

Because the MX-4101N/4100N features third-generation Sharp Auto Colour Mode, anyone—with just a push of the start button—can easily and automatically make copies that are faithful to the original. Here’s how it works. Auto Colour Selection automatically determines whether a page is colour or B/W and selects the appropriate copy mode for that page. Auto Colour Mode analyses the contents of each page, distinguishing between different components, such as photos and text. This is what allows the MX-4101N/4100N to print out maps with crisp, clear text and to automatically remove the background colour on newspaper and magazine copies for clearer output. When copying in B/W, multi-level error diffusion technology provides dramatically smoother gradation in photos and subtle greyscale images.

One of the two USB ports on the MX-4101N/4100N is located at the front of the MFP beneath the control panel. It comes in handy when printing data directly from USB memory devices—an indispensable function for users who are in a hurry or who want quick machine access without a PC.

The MX-4101N/4100N accommodates a wide range of paper sizes, from A5R (5 1/2" x 8 1/2"R) to A3 wide (12" x 18"). When using an optional finisher or exit tray, you can do A3 (11" x 17") full-bleed printing onto A3-wide (12" x 18") paper, without loss of image area. And thanks to its tandem printing method, the MX-4101N/4100N can handle heavy paper stock up to 256 g/m2, overhead transparencies, and other types of paper, further expanding the range of printing applications.

The MX-4101N/4100N includes colourful editing functions made possible by digital technology.
• Multi-Page Enlargement divides an image onto separate sheets for making posters up to A0 x 2 (44" x 68") in size. • Image Repeat places multiple copies of an image onto a single sheet. • Mirror Image makes a reverse image of the original. • XY Zoom adjusts the horizontal and vertical ratios independently. • B/W Reverse reverses the black and white of an image.
Please see specifications for a list of available convenient functions.

• PDF/TIFF/JPEG/XPS Direct Print prints PDF, TIFF, JPEG, or XPS files without using the printer driver or opening applications. Note: Direct PDF printing requires optional MX-PKX1, and direct XPS printing requires optional MX-PUX1 and MX-SMX3. Direct printing may not support all PDF, TIFF, JPEG, and XPS formats. • Carbon Copy Print mode automatically outputs multiple printouts of the same data on plain and/or coloured paper; convenient for invoices and purchase orders. • Form Overlay can store office document formatting such as letterheads and overlay contents in colour, eliminating the need for pre-printed paper. • Barcode font compatibility (with optional AR-PF1 Barcode Font Kit)
Copy
• Book Copy is convenient for compiling copies of a book or bound originals into pamphlet format. • Card Shot enables one-touch copying of both sides of a card (credit cards, ID cards, etc.) onto a single page. • Colour Stamp labels your copies with page numbers, the date or text such as “Urgent” in up to four different colours. • Mixed Size Original Copy mode automatically distinguishes documents of mixed sizes* (such as A3/B4, B4/A4, etc.) fed through the DSPF/RSPF and chooses the appropriate paper. *   Some restrictions apply when combining paper sizes of different format series.

MAGE SENDING The MX-4101N/4100N works as a full-colour network scanner that can be used with any Windows PC on the network. Converting any type of paper-based document, up to A3 (11" x 17") in size, into an editable digital file is as easy as making a copy. The MX-4101N/4100N supports TIFF, PDF, encrypted PDF, high-compression PDF*, JPEG, and the new XPS(XML Paper Specification) file formats. And Auto Colour Selection chooses the right mode for scanning originals containing both colour and B/W pages (see COPYING & NETWORK PRINTING). *   Requires optional MX-EBX3. With the touch of a few buttons, you can choose different ways to distribute your scanned documents. Scan to E-mail sends documents as an e-mail attachment. Scan to FTP Serverscans documents directly to an FTP server for storage. Scan to Desktop sends scanned documents directly to your PC desktop. Scan to Network Folder (SMB) sends files to a shared folder on a networked Windows PC. Scan to USB Memory scans documents directly to USB memory devices. And Scan to Fax enables conventional faxing or Internet faxing. Built-in LDAP (lightweight directory access protocol) support eliminates the need to enter or register full addresses. By entering the first few letters of the recipient’s name, the MX-4101N/4100N displays a list of possible matches from your company’s LDAP server. Selected addresses can be stored to the MX-4101N/4100N’s address book. The optional MX-FXX2 Fax Expansion Kit turns the MX-4101N/4100N into a 33.6 KbpsSuper G3 fax. Using JBIG compression technology, the MX-4101N/4100N can send an A4 (8 1/2" x 11") size page in under 3 seconds*. Use the 150/100-sheet DSPF/RSPF to further boost faxing efficiency. And, because Quick On-Line Transmission can start dialling and transmitting as soon as the first page is scanned into memory, you can send documents in much less time. *   Based on Sharp’s standard chart with approximately 700 characters (A4 or 8 1/2" x 11" long-edge feeding) at standard resolution. The MX-4101N/4100N eliminates the need to copy and staple received faxes by hand. Simply use the Fax Output setting on the LCD control panel to designate the number of copies. With finishing options installed, the MX-4101N/4100N will even automatically staple these documents for you. Directly send a document created on your PC to a recipient’s fax machine via a phone line or the Internet without printing to paper. Save time and paper costs while retaining original document quality.  Note: PC-Internet Fax requires optional MX-FWX1; PC-Fax requires MX-FXX2. Economically send and receive faxes to and from other ITU-T T-37-compliant Internet fax machines via the Internet. The MX-4101N/4100N supports Direct SMTP; outgoing Internet faxes do not go through your mail server, making transmission faster and cheaper.  Note: Requires optional MX-FWX1. Paperless faxing with inbound routing lets you check incoming faxes via e-mail before printing. It can also forward incoming faxes to an FTP server, a network folder (SMB), or a PC desktop. Files can be saved in either PDF or TIFF (single/multi). When scanning and sending a multi-page document, the MX-4101N/4100N automatically recognises and skips over any pages without content, reducing both data size and transmission time. Scan & Fax • One-touch auto dial keys register up to 999 numbers for frequently used destinations • Broadcast transmission to up to 500 destinations • Programme keys (up to 48 keys) are available to set up frequently used transmissions for instant recall • Easy text entry* lets you enter addresses, file names, subject titles or messages from the LCD control panel *   Only addresses can be entered for faxing. • Mixed size original scanning automatically distinguishes documents of mixed sizes fed through the DSPF/RSPF Fax • Duplex transmission/reception sends and prints out two-sided documents • Flash memory backup ensures documents remain safely backed up in memory, even in the event of a power failure • Rotation transmission/reception rotates incoming and outgoing faxes to match the direction of the printing paper • Fax destination confirmation allows users to reconfirm fax numbers before sending to prevent transmission errors  Note: Faxing is available in B/W only.

MULTI-LAYERED SECURITY Digital copier/printers or MFPs can retain hundreds of pages of confidential information from previous jobs on their hard disks or internal memory. To safeguard this information from unauthorised access, the optional Data Security Kit automatically encrypts and erases the data after each job is complete as well as data stored both on the hard disk and in the address book. The MX-4101N/4100N’s IP/MAC address filtering function provides highly secure operation by restricting access to the MX-4101N/4100N on your office network. Only PCs that have either their IP address or MAC (media access control) address registered are allowed to use the MX-4101N/4100N. Attempted access from an unknown IP or MAC address will be denied, preventing unauthorised use. The MX-4101N/4100N also supports the IEEE 802.1X standard for port-based network access control, which blocks all access from unauthorised devices. To prevent unauthorised viewing of confidential image data, the MX-4101N/4100N enables users to password protect and encrypt PDF data. By setting a password when scanning, users can transmit a PDF over the network in encrypted format. Then, after transmission, viewers will only gain access to the encrypted PDF after successfully re-entering the chosen password. Document Control prevents unauthorised copying, scanning, faxing, and filing of confidential documents. This is how it works: the MX-4101N/4100N embeds copy prevention data onto a document when it is first copied or printed. It will then detect this data the next time someone tries to make a copy of the document. Any unauthorised attempts to copy a Document Controlled-document will simply be cancelled or result in the output of a blank page.  Note: Requires optional Data Security Kit. May not work for certain types of documents or paper. SSL (secure sockets layer) enables the encryption of data communications to prevent data leakage through the network when printing via IPP, browsing secure Web pages (HTTPS), or communicating via e-mail (SMTP and POP3) or FTP (FTPS). The MX-4101N/4100N prevents unauthorised use by requiring passwords for machine access. This safeguarded solution can register up to 1,000 users in three access levels as Administrator, User, or Guest and can designate to which function user authentication applies. The MX-4101N/4100N can, for example, be set to allow B/W copying by all users while restricting colour copying to designated users. And the MX-4101N/4100N works with an external Active Directory server to extend user authentication to multiple MFPs and a greater number of users. The MX-4101N/4100N supports IPv6, the next-generation Internet protocol. An obligatory part of IPv6 is IPsec (IP Security), a set of protocols for securing Internet protocol (IP) communications. IPsec encrypts and authenticates traffic between specified parties, giving IPsec-compatible products an extremely high level of network security. DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT You can save processed job data in designated folders on the MX-4101N/4100N’s built-in hard disk, making it easy to instantly recall saved documents or jobs for printing and sending at a later time. This contributes greatly to efficient sharing and distribution of information in your business operations. Up to 1,700 pages or 1,000 files*1 that have been copied, printed, scanned, or faxed*2 can be stored by job on the hard disk in a Quick File Folder. You can easily reuse saved data without having to reload or rescan the original. Up to 5,500 pages or 3,000 files*1 that have been copied, printed, scanned, or faxed*2can be stored by job on the hard disk in up to 1,000 folders with customised names and locations. Enhanced security features require users to enter a 5- to 8-digit password to access secure folders, protecting your sensitive data. Storage options include: • Main Folder – You can store processed files by user name in the main public folder and share them across the workgroup. Any file name and a PIN code can be assigned to each saved job. • Custom Folder – Up to 500 private folders (named as desired) can be created within the Custom Folder. When saving a file in a private folder, any file name can be assigned. A PIN code can be applied to both private folders and files. *1: Measured using Sharp’s standard chart (A4 with 6% coverage, B/W). The Quick File Folder shares the HDD with the Job Build function; up to 12GB of data storage is available when using both functions. The storage capacity will be less for colour pages. *2: For fax and Internet fax jobs, only transmitted data (not received faxes) can be saved in the Document Filing function. Documents that are stored on the hard disk can be quickly searched and accessed from the control panel display or through a Web browser. Sharpdesk is an original Sharp application that provides integrated desktop management of documents in over 200 file formats, including scanned paper-based documents and those created with popular applications such as Word. It allows you to organise, edit, search and distribute your documents, all with simple drag-and-drop operation. • Intuitive desktop display features thumbnail viewing • Sharpdesk Imaging provides annotation tools for paper-free proofreading • Sharpdesk Composer combines different types of files into a single document • Optical character recognition converts documents into editable text files • Output zone distributes files to e-mail, printers and other applications • File search allows searching by file name, keyword, or thumbnail DEVICE MANAGEMENT Integrated Device Management The MX-4101N/4100N allows for easy programming of complex settings and makes it possible for a system administrator to manage multiple devices from a single location. The result is minimum time and effort and maximum work efficiency. Administrators can configure system settings such as address book control, document filing management, and user control (accounting) from either over the network or from the control panel of the MX-4101N/4100N. The MX-4101N/4100N has capabilities to restrict machine access and usage. Easily manage overall running costs by setting access rules through a Web browser to limit or restrict functions, such as the printing out or copying of large-volume colour documents. • Authority Groups – Use of each function can be restricted individually. • User control and account – Up to 1,000 password-protected user accounts can be created for customised access. Accounts can be set up for individuals, groups or departments, in conjunction with the authority group setting. Maximum limits for printing or copying pages can be set for each account. The MX-4101N/4100N can be monitored remotely through a Web browser. In the event of a problem, such as a low amount of toner, an alert is displayed on the Web page. And, the E-Mail Status and Alert function generates e-mail messages to notify the administrator when action or maintenance is required. • Printer Administration Utility makes printer networks easier to manage by allowing administrators to customise monitored items and view settings such as the IP address directly from their PC through a standard Web browser. • If the MX-4101N/4100N is low on paper or toner, thePrinter Status Monitor will alert you in the form of easy-to-understand graphics, allowing you to avoid problems before they arise. Machine settings can be copied conveniently to another MX-4101N/4100N via a Web browser in XML format, making it easy to clone machines in a networked environment. With Device Cloning, the administrator no longer needs to set up individual machines one by one, thereby making his/her job a lot easier. With the MX-4101N/4100N’s new Remote Operation function, the same control panel screen found on the MFP can be displayed on the screen of a remote, office-networked PC, allowing the MFP to be operated via that PC. This function can, for example, enable the administrator to guide an MFP user in need of help through necessary procedures. It also allows users, such as the physically challenged, who might have difficulty accessing the MFP control panel, to operate the MFP remotely, via the PC. ENVIRONMENT- & USER-FRIENDLY Integrating Sharp’s environmentally advanced supplies, the MX-4101N/4100N takes ecological performance to a whole new level. Mycrostoner-HG offers a significantly lower consumption rate than conventional toner, while the longer-life photoconductor delivers higher performance than previous models. • With a standby power consumption of less than 1W in night-time fax reception mode, the MX-4101N/4100N leads the industry in energy savings for colour MFPs. • Conforming to the Energy Star programme, an international system identifying energy-efficient products, the MX-4101N/4100N has two levels of energy-saving modes to reduce or shut off electricity after a period of inactivity. And to further cut back on running costs, by pressing the manual energy save key after a job is finished, the MX-4101N/4100N immediately enters pre-heat mode. • The MX-4101N/4100N conforms to standards set for the Nordic Swan European environmental label. • In support of the RoHS directive, which restricts the use of hazardous substances, Sharp has fully eliminated harmful lead and chromium in all MX-4101N/4100N parts and materials. The MX-4101N/4100N’s logically designed control panel features a wide, clear, W-VGA-resolution touch-screen LCD with easy-to-follow guidance. For example, when adjusting staple/sort finishing or making pamphlets, the LCD displays step-by-step instructions to guide you through the necessary procedures. Pushing the Home button, even in the middle of an operation, takes you back to the Start screen. And you can quickly access the most frequently used functions and settings by programming them into My Menu. Making the search for files easier and more convenient than ever, thumbnails and up-close previews of Document Filing data files, as well as conventional file names, can be displayed on the MX-4101N/4100N’s LCD control panel. And to help users decide which documents to print out, the LCD can also display thumbnails and previews of incoming faxes and Internet faxes. The MX-4101N/4100N even prevents errors in copying, scanning, or saving documents to its hard disk by showing previews of those jobs on the LCD before actually executing them, making it easy to confirm finishing options, scan settings, and other such items. Whether printing or copying, the control panel displays a list of all jobs, showing you at a glance the jobs in progress and the position of your job in the queue. And, with a few quick touches of the LCD screen, the Priority Printing function lets you easily change the job queue order or delete jobs that are no longer needed. The MX-4101N/4100N supports the Sharp OSA 3.0* development platform. This innovative, third-generation technology allows users to interact with critical business and network applications and/or external account software right from the LCD control panel, offering a new realm of control and convenience. And since Sharp OSA 3.0 utilises industry-standard network protocols, such as XML and SOAP, the MX-4101N/4100N can easily integrate with document management systems, enterprise resource planning software, workflow applications, and more. *   Requires optional MX-AMX2 and/or MX-AMX3 General Type Desktop Engine speed (colour & B/W) Max. 41 cpm/ppm (A4, 8 1/2" x 11", long-edge feeding) Paper size Max.
