Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Sharp MX-3140N 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 125,000.
  • You scan a moderate amount of mostly single-sided documents — the 100 sheets RSPF handles up to 50 ipm without choking.
  • You want one device that prints, copies, scans, and (with the optional MX-FX15 kit) faxes at 31 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 up to 10,000 pages a month — the engine handles it but you'll be ordering toner more often than the dealer's lease quote assumes.
  • You occasionally scan two-sided originals — the 100 sheets RSPF flips each page rather than single-pass duplex, so it's slower than the DSPF on the Advanced-series Sharp MFPs.
  • 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 27 x 33 inches and weighs 167.5 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 scan thick stacks of two-sided originals every day — the 100 sheets RSPF flips each sheet to scan side B; if duplex scan speed matters more than price, the Advanced-series MX-3071 or MX-3070V with single-pass DSPF is the better fit.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Sharp MX-3140N is a floor-standing A3 color laser multifunction in Sharp's Color MFP (2015) 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 31 ppm in both black and color, scans through a 100-sheet reversing single-pass RSPF (50 ipm mono and color), and is rated for a 125,000-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 is an optional MX-EB18 adapter on this configuration. The thing it does better than peers in this speed class is the RSPF that flips each sheet to scan side B — slower than the DSPF on Sharp's Advanced models, but reliable and cheaper to service. 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.
