Is this the right printer for you?
Who the Sharp MX-2310U is actually for
Most equipment pages just tell you what a device 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
offer equipment for every business need, but the right machine depends on your specific workflow.
Best fit
Pick this if...
You run a small office of 5-15 people that needs A3 (11x17) color and is replacing an older Sharp AR-series copier.
You print 500-2,000 pages a month — the 23-ppm engine and 600-sheet standard capacity are sized for this volume.
You want one of the smaller A3 color MFPs ever shipped — at roughly 23 x 24.5 x 32.8 inches and 160 lb. it fits where a bigger MX won't.
You're a Sharp dealer customer with an existing parts and service relationship — this is a 2010-era platform still in many offices on extended contracts.
You need the optional MX-FN19 inner finisher and MX-PNX5 hole punch — both are matched accessories for this chassis.
Works fine
You'll be happy if...
You print up to 3,000 pages a month — the engine handles it, but the per-page cost on a 14-year-old platform is no longer competitive vs a current BP-50C.
You need fax — the MX-FX12 fax option is still available through Sharp dealer channels.
You're using PCL only — PCL 6 is standard on the MX-2310U (Adobe PostScript 3 was the optional MX-PK11 kit).
You're standardizing a fleet around the legacy SAPL-c/PCL controller — drivers still install on Windows 10/11 via the legacy installer, but native macOS support stops at 10.6.
Look elsewhere
Skip this if...
You're buying new in 2024 — this product launched in 2010. Look at the BP-50C26 or BP-50M26 instead, both share the modern 10.1" UI and current cloud connectors.
You need native scan to Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, Box, or Dropbox — Cloud Connect was added on later MX models; the MX-2310U scans to email, FTP, SMB, and USB only.
You need PostScript 3 standard — PS3 was the optional MX-PK11 kit on this model.
You print more than 3,500 pages a month — toner economics on the legacy MX-23GTBA/CA/MA/YA cartridges are no longer competitive at volume.
You need Wi-Fi — there is no Wi-Fi adapter for this generation; wireless requires a separate print server.
Full specifications
Every spec, no guessing
The Sharp MX-2310U is a compact 23-ppm A3 color multifunction launched in 2010, sized for small offices and workgroups of 5-15 people printing 500-2,000 pages a month. It prints and copies 23 ppm in both mono and color on letter (11 ppm on tabloid), scans through a standard 100-sheet RSPF, and ships with a single 500-sheet drawer plus 100-sheet bypass for 600 sheets standard, expandable to 2,100 sheets across optional drawers. The 7-inch color LCD with thumbnail previews and stylus pen is the user-facing UI. Standard connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0; PCL 6 is the standard PDL with Adobe PostScript 3 available as the optional MX-PK11 kit. Dimensions are 23 x 24.5 x 32.8 in. (one of the smaller A3 color MFPs Sharp ever shipped), and a space-saving inner finisher (MX-FN19) plus hole punch (MX-PNX5) are the matched options. The thing buyers regret: buying a new MX-2310U in 2024. The platform launched in 2010, native macOS support stops at 10.6, there's no Wi-Fi, and Cloud Connect (Teams, OneDrive, Box, Dropbox) was a later-generation addition. If your fleet is fresh, look at the BP-50C26 — same speed, modern controller, current cloud connectors.
Three ways to get this printer, each priced to match how you actually use it. Most
small offices lease because toner and maintenance are bundled. If you know what you need, buy
outright. If you already own one, just reorder supplies.
Final lease rate depends on term length, credit profile, and bundled supplies. Outright purchase and
supplies pricing varies with bundled warranty, install packages, and order volume. Request a quote for
exact pricing.

FAQ
Sharp MX-2310U, common questions
The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (888) 574-5120 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.
Yes, the Sharp MX-2310U ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner yields approximately 18,000 pages for black and 10,000 pages for each color (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) at 5% coverage. Replacement toner models are the MX-23NT-BA (black, 18,000 pages) and MX-23NT-CA, MX-23NT-MA, MX-23NT-YA (color, 10,000 pages each). When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Sharp MX-2310U is a compact A3 color MFP with a 23 ppm print speed, a 7-inch color LCD, and a 100-sheet RSPF, ideal for small offices. In contrast, the Sharp BP-70C31 is a floor-standing A3 color MFP with a 31 ppm print speed, a 10.1-inch tilting touchscreen, and a 300-sheet DSPF, designed for larger workgroups. The BP-70C31 also offers modern features like WPA3 wireless, TLS 1.3 encryption, and advanced scan-to-cloud workflows, making it more suitable for legal and healthcare environments. For small offices with basic needs, the MX-2310U is a cost-effective choice, but the BP-70C31 is better for higher volume and advanced features.
The Sharp MX-2310U is well-suited for small businesses with a monthly page volume of 500-2,000 pages. It offers a print speed of 23 ppm in both mono and color, a 500-sheet standard paper capacity, and a compact design. However, its outdated firmware and lack of modern features like Wi-Fi and cloud connectivity may be limiting. For businesses needing more advanced features or higher volume, consider stepping up to a commercial option like the Sharp BP-50C26.
Yes, the Sharp MX-2310U supports color printing. It prints and copies at 23 ppm in both mono and color. If you are looking for alternatives, consider the Sharp BP-50C26 or Sharp BP-70C31 for more advanced color printing features.
