Product Overview
The MX-C407F ($4,997) and MX-C507F ($8,330) color MFPs are among several new devices in Sharp’s A4 lineup, and prints and copies at up to 40 ppm and 50 ppm, respectively. Both devices include a first-color-copy-time of 12 seconds and a 7″ color touchscreen with accessible settings, such as the Easy Mode feature that’s displayed in large, visible tiles. In addition, there’s a 2.4 GHz processor, 2 GB of memory (expandable up to 4 GB) and an optional 500 GB hard drive (although it’s standard on the MX-C507F).
PCL and PostScript printing languages are supported. USB and Ethernet connectivity is standard, and wireless is optional. Users can directly print files (e.g., PDF, JPEG, Microsoft Office) from a mobile device, file server or USB drive as well as print from and scan to cloud services, such as Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Dropbox and Box. In addition, the Synappx Go mobile app connects with all Sharp MFPs, so users can print from their smartphones and release print jobs at the device.
