Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Sharp MX-3071 is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run an office of 10-40 people that needs A3 (11x17/12x18) color output in-house, not outsourced to a print shop.
  • You print 3,000-8,000 pages a month and want headroom — this machine is rated for 225,000.
  • You scan stacks of two-sided originals daily and need single-pass duplex at 220 ipm to clear the pile fast.
  • You want one device that prints, copies, scans, and (with the optional MX-FX15 kit) faxes at 30 ppm in both black and color.
  • You already have a Sharp dealer relationship for toner and service — Sharp MFPs are sold and supported through dealer channels, not retail.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 8,000-12,000 pages a month — the engine handles it, you'll just go through toner faster than the planned-for volume.
  • You need finishing (50-sheet inner finisher, saddle-stitch booklet maker, 3-hole punch) — they bolt on as MX-FN27N/FN28/FN29 modules, plan for the footprint and the extra invoice line.
  • You're replacing a Canon imageRUNNER or Konica bizhub of similar speed — operators learn the 10.1" Sharp touchscreen quickly, expect 2-3 weeks of muscle-memory complaints.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 1,500 pages a month — this is overbuilt for that. A small A4 color MFP would cost half as much and lease for less.
  • You want a small footprint — this is a floor-standing A3 unit; the base alone is 24 x 26 x 33 inches and weighs 191 lbs.
  • You don't have a Sharp dealer relationship — toner (MX-60NTBA/MX-61NTBA series), drums, and service are sold through Sharp's authorized dealer network, not Amazon or Staples.
  • You only print a couple hundred color pages a month — color toner sets are expensive on these MFPs; a mono A3 MFP (Sharp MX-M3071 or similar) cuts your supply spend in half.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Sharp MX-3071 is a floor-standing A3 color laser multifunction in Sharp's Advanced (2019, Alexa-ready) lineup, built for offices of 10-40 people that need in-house tabloid (11x17) and 12x18 color, plus heavier scanning than a desktop MFP can keep up with. It prints and copies at 30 ppm in both black and color, scans through a 150-sheet single-pass duplex DSPF (220 ipm mono / 110 ipm color, single-pass duplex), and is rated for a 225,000-page monthly duty cycle (Sharp recommends staying around 3,000-8,000 pages/month for sane toner economics). Standard paper capacity is 650 sheets across one 550-sheet drawer plus a 100-sheet bypass; you can expand to 6,300 sheets with the optional MX-DE25N/26N/27N stands or the MX-LC17N 3,000-sheet large-capacity cassette. The 10.1 inches color touchscreen handles the usual scan-to-network, document-filing, and Sharp OSA app workflows, and Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n is standard on this configuration. The thing it does better than peers in this speed class is the single-pass duplex scan that doubles as the workflow killer feature on the Advanced series. The thing buyers regret is the dealer-only supply chain: MX-60NTxA/MX-61NTxA toner sets and drums come from your Sharp dealer, not Amazon, so expect 1-3 day lead times rather than next-day Prime. Standard out-of-box: print, copy, color network scan, auto duplex; fax (MX-FX15) and Internet fax (MX-FWX1L) are dealer add-ons.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

Yes. The MFC-L2759DW ships with a high-yield 4,500-page starter toner cartridge, which is roughly 3 to 6 months of toner for a typical small office. Replacement toner is Sharp TN830XL (high-yield, about 4,500 pages) or TN830 (standard yield, about 1,200 pages). When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.

The Sharp MX-3071 is the refreshed version of the MFC-L2750DW with updated firmware, a longer-life drum, and an expanded starter toner yield (4,500 pages versus 3,000). Print speed, automatic 2-sided print and scan, and connectivity are identical. For most small offices the 2759DW is the better long-term value because of the larger included toner.

Yes, for small offices printing under about 2,500 pages per month. It's fast at 36 ppm, handles auto 2-sided print and scan, supports Wi-Fi and Ethernet, and has a 50-page document feeder for multi-page scans. If you regularly print more than 5,000 pages per month or need color, step up to a commercial-grade multifunction printer — see our commercial printer options.

No. The MFC-L2759DW is monochrome (black and white) only. It cannot print color. If you need color, look at the Brother MFC-L3750CDW or a commercial color multifunction printer like the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX or Konica Minolta bizhub series.

Sharp includes a 1-year limited manufacturer warranty on the MFC-L2759DW when purchased new from an authorized reseller. 1-800 Office Solutions is an authorized Sharp reseller. Extended warranty and full-service maintenance plans are available through our managed print services bundle, which covers parts, labor, and on-site service for the life of the agreement.

Yes. Free delivery is included on every Sharp MX-3071 order shipped within the continental United States. Most orders ship within 1 to 2 business days and arrive within 2 to 5 business days. Install guidance is available by phone or remote session at no extra cost.
