Sharp Corporation will introduce into the Japanese market the new MX-2310F Digital Full-Color MFP featuring enhanced environmental performance and high-quality color output in a compact size that is the smallest and lightest in its class.
This model features a compact design that is the smallest and lightest in its class. The use of a newly developed polymer resin frame has reduced the weight of the main unit by approximately one-third*2 of its predecessor model. In addition, this MFP delivers the environmental performance demanded in today’s offices by reducing power consumption by approximately 77%*3 of its predecessor thanks to a significantly faster warm-up time, adopting LEDs as the light source in the scanning section, and holding down power consumption while on network standby*4 to just 1 watt.
In addition, adopting Sharp’s Mycrostoner® HG2 advanced small-particle toner enables high-image-quality output that naturally reproduces neutral tones as well as fine details in the original. The design also gives full consideration to ease of use, including a 7.0-inch WVGA color touchscreen LCD control panel and easy-grip handles.

| 2. |
|
Superb environmental performance with power consumption approximately 77% lower that its predecessor, including significantly faster warm-up time. |
| 3. |
|
High-image-quality output thanks to the use of Mycrostoner® HG2. |
| 4. |
|
Emphasis on ease of use with a 7.0-inch WVGA color LCD control panel and easy-grip handles. |
| 5. |
|
Enhanced capabilities to provide flexible office solutions thanks to an embedded IC card reader/writer*5 for non-contact IC card authentication, and Sharp OSA® which allows operation with qualified application software. |
| *1 |
As of September 2, 2010, for A3-size color MFPs rated at speeds from 20 ppm to 40 ppm in the Japanese market. Dimensions: 583 mm (W) × 623 mm (D). Weight: Approx. 74 kg. “Smallest” is based on a comparison of footprint area (width by depth); “lightest weight” is compared to models with 4-tray paper drawer configurations (based on Sharp research). |
| *2 |
Compared to Sharp’s previous model (MX-2300FG introduced in 2005). |
| *3 |
Comparison using TEC values (amount of energy consumed in one week), a standard developed under the International ENERGY STAR® Program. Comparison is between this model and its predecessor (MX-2300FG introduced in 2005). |
| *4 |
When connected to a network using TCP/IP protocol. |
| *5 |
IC card reader/writer is optional (sold separately). |
