Bringing Sharp Innovation and Style to the Office.
Beyond the conventional
Sharp’s award-winning line of A3 MFDs has given rise to the MX-C381—full-colour A4 MFD quite unlike conventional A4 models. While still boasting the impressive speed, superb image quality, multi-layered security, and unsurpassed ease of use found in Sharp’s A3 MFDs, this new-concept solution takes A4 MFD performance to a higher plane of excellence. The MX-C381 delivers four-in-one multifunction—copy, network print, network scan, and optional fax—in an eye-pleasing design and space-saving dimensions. The MX-C381, built for IT-centric use, boasts an 8.5-inch touch-screen LCD. Sharp’s MFD series offers super-speedy scanning and the control and convenience of Sharp OSA (Open Systems Architecture) customisation.
Stylish New Design
A new dark-coloured control panel gives the MX-C381 a distinct design advantage and brings polished chic to office settings. What’s more, the entire machine—front, back, and sides—sports a unique textured surface that enhances décor in a way that conventional office equipment can not.
Small Footprint
Despite an extremely small footprint—just 535 mm wide and 438 mm deep—the MX-C381 does not compromise on performance. This powerful space saver can conveniently go to work on or next to a file cabinet, even with the finishing option installed.
Super-Efficient Colour and B/W Output
The tandem printing engine with four in-line drums helps the MX-C381 deliver a fast output of 38 cpm/ppm*1. The first copy comes out in just 8.9 seconds in full colour and 8.0 seconds in B/W. What’s more, its short, straight paper path minimises misfeeds to save you paper and toner costs.
