Windmills of the Netherlands

For centuries, the Dutch used windmills 
to mill corn into flour, drain water from 
the land, cut timber into boards, and 
carry out various other industrial tasks. 
At one time, over 9,000 windmills 
dotted the Dutch countryside. And, 
although that number has dwindled 
down to just over a thousand, many 
people still associate the Netherlands 
with its majestic windmills. 

To harness the power of the wind, the 
Dutch built a variety of windmills, with the name of each type determined by the 
construction, appearance, or function of the mill. These mills sported a somewhat 
primitive design that used canvas sails and that, unlike their more automated British 
counterparts, had to be turned by hand to face the wind.

PRODUCTIVE

SUPERB PRINT QUALITY

VERSATILE

Super-Efficient Colour and B/W Output

The tandem printing engine with four in-line drums helps the 
MX-2310U deliver a fast output of 

23 cpm/ppm

* in full colour 

and in B/W. The first copy comes out in just 

10.0 seconds

 in full 

colour and 

7.4 seconds

 in B/W. What’s more, its short, straight 

paper path minimises misfeeds to save you 
paper and toner costs.

* A4, long-edge feeding

Productive Collated Output from Memory

The MX-2310U’s Scan Once/Print Many function only requires a 
single scan of a multi-page original for copying, and the RIP 
Once/Print Many function only needs to download print data once 
from the PC for printing. The machine then automatically saves 
the data into memory and outputs 

collated

 sets of copies or 

printouts in the proper page order (electronic sorting), with each 
set 

offset stacked

 for easier retrieval.

Built-In Stackless Duplex Module

The MX-2310U can make 

two-sided copies and printouts

 using 

its built-in stackless duplex module, effectively reducing paper 
costs as well as saving filing space. Duplex copying is even more 
effective when the duplex module is used together with the 
standard-equipped 

100-sheet RSPF

 (reversing single pass feeder), 

which efficiently feeds in either one or two-sided originals.  

Job Build for Large-Volume Scanning

The MX-2310U easily handles large-volume copy jobs exceeding 
the RSPF’s 100-sheet*

1

 capacity. For example, a 270-sheet original 

can be scanned as batches of 100 + 100 + 70 sheets and 
automatically stored on the MX-2310U’s hard disk*

2

. Users can 

then print the entire document in a single run. 

*1: A4, 80 g/m

2

*2: The number of pages that can be stored for the Job Build function 
depends on the machine’s HDD capacity and other conditions. 

Supports Most Office Environments

• The MX-2310U works as a network printer with the latest and most 

commonly used operating systems and network protocols, including 

IPv6

, and even in mixed OS environments. You get fast, powerful 

network printing via the 1000Base-T 

Gigabit Ethernet

 standard. 

• The MX-2310U supports the 

PCL6

 printer language.* For 

compatibility with 

PostScript 3

, the MX-PK11 PS3 Expansion Kit is 

available. 

* Requires optional MX-PB14.

 

Automated Finishing

The MX-2310U automates time-consuming finishing tasks and 
makes it easy to create professional-looking booklets. For a 
consistent, polished look, the 

chapter divide

* function prints 

documents so that all chapters begin on odd-numbered pages or 
all begin on even-numbered pages. A space-efficient 

Finisher

 is 

available for jobs that require sorting and stapling. Plus an optional 

Punch Module

 allows you to punch holes in documents for easy 

filing. 

* Requires optional MX-PB14.

  

Large Paper Capacity

For high-volume work, the MX-2310U can accommodate an 
optional stand with 3 x 500-sheet paper drawers for a total 
capacity of 

2,100 sheets

. When a tray 

runs out of paper, the 

Auto Tray 

Switching

 function automatically 

switches to another paper tray filled 
with the same size paper, allowing 
you to do extra-large volume jobs 
without worry. 

Network Tandem Function*

When two MX-2310Us are connected to the same office network, 
you can use both simultaneously to double copying/printing 
output to up to 

46 cpm/ppm

. Large-volume jobs can be 

completed with ease, enabling you to meet tight deadlines. 

* Requires optional MX-PB14.

Convenient Copy Previews

To prevent errors in copying, the 
MX-2310U shows previews of copy 
jobs on its LCD before actually 
executing them. With previews, it is 
easy to confirm finishing options, 
scan settings, and other such items.  

NETWORK-READY

USB Memory Direct Print*

One of the two USB ports on the MX-2310U is located at the front 
of the MFD beneath the control panel. It comes in handy when 
printing data directly from USB memory 
devices—an indispensable function for 
users who are in a hurry or who want 
quick machine access without a PC. 

* Requires optional MX-PB14.

 

Versatile Paper Handling

The MX-2310U accommodates a wide range of paper sizes, from 

A5R 

to 

A3 wide

. When using an optional finisher or exit tray, you 

can do A3 

full-bleed printing

 onto 

A3-wide 

paper, without loss 

of image area. The MX-2310U can handle heavy paper stock up to 

256 g/m

2

, overhead transparencies, and other types of paper,

further expanding the range of printing applications.

Image Editing Functions

The MX-2310U includes colourful editing functions made possible 
by digital technology.

• 

Multi-Page Enlargement

 divides an image onto separate 

sheets for making posters up to A0 x 2 in size.

• 

Photo Repeat

 places multiple copies of an image onto a single 

sheet.

through the RSPF and chooses the appropriate paper.

* Some restrictions apply when combining paper sizes of different format series.

Improved Imaging System

Sharp thoroughly revamped its imaging process for the 
MX-2310U; now a high-performance processor, a new developer, 
and the newly developed high-grade toners combine to provide 
breathtaking image quality. The new toner expands the colour 
reproducibility range for a more natural rendering of clear blue 
skies, emerald green oceans, and other colour images. The smaller 
particle size of the toner and the developer allows for reduced 
graininess and clear reproduction of fine lines, fine text, and 
halftone colours.

Crisp, Clear Text and Images

Employing digital smoothing technology enhances the print 
resolution to the equivalent of 

9,600 x 600 dpi

 for incredibly 

smooth reproduction of fine lines. Fine-grained photographs, 
detailed illustrations and graphs, and small text come out crisp and 
clear.

High-Quality Page Description Language

To ensure high-quality image processing, the MX-2310U uses Sharp’s 
original 

SAPL-c

 (Sharp Advanced Printing Language-c), a new page 

description language (PDL) that delivers superb performance and print 
quality. The MX-2310U is also compatible with PCL6 and PS3 (option).

Easy, High-Quality Copying

Auto Colour Selection

 automatically determines whether a page is 

colour or B/W and selects the appropriate copy mode for that page. 

Auto Colour Mode

 analyses the contents of each page, 

distinguishing between different components, such as photos and 
text. These are what allow the MX-2310U to print out maps with 
crisp, clear text and to automatically remove the background colour 
on newspaper and magazine copies for clearer output.
