Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Sharp MX-M4051 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...

  • Pick this if the refurb gap to a new MX-M4071 is 30 percent or more.
  • Pick this if your refurb meter is under 2M pages.
  • Pick this if you do 7,000 to 16,000 B&W pages a month.
  • Pick this if you have 5 to 15 shared users.
  • Pick this if you need 11 x 17 capability.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you accept slightly older firmware than the MX-M4071.
  • It's fine if you stay wired and skip Wi-Fi.
  • It's fine if your finishing is desk-stapler level.
  • It's fine if you only occasionally do 200+ page batch jobs.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if the price gap to a new MX-M4071 is under 20 percent.
  • Skip this if you need color.
  • Skip this if you print over 18,000 a month.
  • Skip this if you need a 5-year parts runway.
  • Skip this if you need an inline finisher.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Sharp MX-M4051 is a 40 ppm A3 monochrome MFP from Sharp's mid-cycle generation, sold today refurbished for workgroups and busy team workspaces doing 7,000 to 16,000 B&W pages a month. It runs 40 ppm at 1200 x 1200 dpi, supports 11 x 17, has duplex print and scan, an early Android-based panel, Gigabit Ethernet, USB, optional Wi-Fi, AirPrint, and Mopria. The thing buyers regret: the in-between generation has awkward pricing — too new to be cheap, too old to win a 5-year cost battle against a new MX-M4071. Buy this only when the refurb gap is 30 percent or more. With that gap and a low meter under 2 million pages, this is a strong machine that handles shared use without complaint; without it, the new model wins on five-year cost. Workgroup classification means it is built for shared use by 5-15 staff, not single-user setups.

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.

FAQ

Sharp MX-M4051, 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.

The Sharp MX-M4051 is a monochrome MFP with a speed of 40 ppm, ideal for workgroups printing 7,000 to 16,000 pages monthly, while the Sharp BP-70C31 is a color MFP with a speed of 31 ppm, designed for workgroups of 10-30 people needing color printing and advanced scanning features. The BP-70C31 includes a 10.1" touchscreen, advanced security features like WPA3 and TLS 1.3, and higher paper capacity. For small offices with lower color needs, the monochrome MX-M4051 may offer better value.
The Sharp MX-M4051 is suitable for small businesses with a monthly print volume of 7,000 to 16,000 pages, offering a speed of 40 ppm and features like duplex printing and scanning. However, as a monochrome printer, it may not meet the needs of businesses requiring color printing.
