Sharp launches the new MX-C311 and MX-C381 Frontier range printers
Published:  09 January, 2009

Sharp has introduced two debut models from the new Frontier range of multifunction printers. The MX-C311 and MX-C381 are the first in a new line of A4 full colour MFP products that are designed to meet the needs of small and medium businesses, bringing the superior performance of Sharp technology closer to everybody.

The Frontier MX range features a sleek and distinctive design which compliments the contemporary office setting. Both printers offer digital colour copier, printer and scanner capabilities in one machine. The MX-C311 prints at a rate of 31 ppm, with the MX-C381 printing at 38 ppm, and both support the third generation of the Sharp OSA(R) platform, enabling the MFPs to be part of businesses network based applications - no other A4 MFP offers this level of connectivity.

The products offer standard features that are most useful in the office environment, such as Document Feeder, Double Sided Copying and Printing, Colour Network Scanning and Printing, all driven through an 8.5" high quality Colour touch screen, which utilising a variant of Sharp's award winning operating system.

Tom Primett, Group Product Manager at Sharp says: "The new Sharp Frontier Series of A4 Colour MFPs will mean printing in office environments is easier than ever before. The Frontier Series are really beyond comparison, because they package Sharp's unique document management and multitasking strengths in an MFP that is easy to use and sleeker than ever. These new MFP offer a true office solution based on our strengths in technology, offering all the features found in our A3 products"

Both the MX-C311 and the MX-C381 use the award winning Sharp Data Security Suite as standard, meeting many industry regulations and also Ipv6 requirements. The suite can be enhanced through data security kits, and means Sharp's MFPs are the safest in the market, ideal for any business that needs to protect its data.

The unique MFP Remote Front Panel Printer administration utility (PAU Version 5.0) provides users with the opportunity to get any problems fixed externally. IT helpdesk professionals can see what the owners are looking at remotely and therefore reduce time and cost if problems arise.

With the aim of being the most efficient supplier in the market, Sharp has created a unique Best of Breed Supply System that virtually eliminates the downtime that is needed to replenish supplies for the printer, meaning costs are lowered for customers, and products can be easily replaced. 

All of the models in Sharp's new Frontier line are the result of Sharp's unique approach to designing and building office products, thinking and acting differently from any other vendor. The MX-C311, MX-C381, and all Frontier models with the MX designation, will be available exclusively via authorised Sharp dealers and direct sales throughout the winter.
