| NETWORK PRINTING |
The tandem printing engine with four in-line drums helps the MX-4501N/3501N series deliver a fast output of 35 ppm in full colour and 45/35 ppm in B/W*. Its short, straight paper path minimises paper jams to save you paper and toner costs. And the MX-4501N/3501N series’ RIP Once/Print Many function only needs to download print data once from the PC for printing, enabling multi-page documents to be printed directly from the MX-4501N/3501N series’ hard disk. Printed documents are automatically collated and output in the proper page order, with each set stacked offset for easier retrieval.

| For high-volume work, the MX-4501N/3501N series can accommodate an optional 3,500-sheet large-capacity tray and stand with 2 x 500-sheet paper drawers for a total capacity of 5,600 sheets. 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 worrying about running out of paper. | ![]() |
| The MX-4501N/3501N series adopts Mycrostoner, a new toner of smaller particle size that clearly reproduces thin lines, small characters and halftone colours. The oil-less toner also produces vivid, natural-looking colour printouts that you can easily write messages or post sticky notes on. |
| The MX-4501N/3501N series makes it easy to create professional-looking booklets. Working together with the highly productive built-in stackless duplex module, the optional Saddle Stitch Finisher folds and staples sets of documents to make completed booklets. A space-efficient Finisher is also available for jobs that require only simple sorting and stapling. And, a Punch Module allows you to punch holes in documents for easy filing. | ![]() |

| The MX-4501N/3501N series’ Scan Once/Print Many function only requires a single scan of a multi-page original for copying. The machine then automatically outputs collated sets of copies in the proper page order without the aid of a sorter (electronic sorting). Each set is slightly shifted apart from the previous (offset stacking) for easy retrieval. Up to 999 copies can be made directly from memory. |

| The MX-4501N/3501N comes standard with a highly efficient 150-sheet DSPF (duplex single pass feeder), which scans both pages of two-sided documents up to A3 (11" x 17") in size in one pass. Doing away with the reversing circuit minimises paper misfeeds and vastly improves reliability. | ![]() |
| The MX-4500N/3500N comes standard with a highly efficient 100-sheet RSPF (reversing single pass feeder), which automatically feeds in single or two-sided originals up to A3 (11" x 17") in size, eliminating the tedious task of placing and turning over each page by hand. | ![]() |
| The MX-4501N/3501N series can make two-sided copies using its built-in stackless duplex module, effectively reducing paper costs as well as saving filing space. Duplex copying is even more effective when used together with the DSPF/RSPF. | ![]() |
| Sharp Auto Colour Mode analyses the content of an original document and automatically recognises the type of original. It then selects the optimum copy mode to produce copies that are faithful to the original. The MX-4501N/3501N series’ Enhanced Sharp Auto Colour Mode advances this excellent function even further, making it possible to even clearly reproduce characters with colour or halftone dots in the background. |

The MX-4501N/3501N series easily handles large-volume copy jobs exceeding the DSPF’s 150-sheet*1 or RSPF’s 100-sheet*1 capacity. For example, a 270-sheet original can be scanned as batches of 150 + 120 sheets or 100 + 100 + 70 sheets and automatically stored on the MX-4501N/3501N series’ hard disk*2. Users can then print the entire document in a single run.
|
| The MX-4501N/3501N series automatically distinguishes whether the pages in a document are colour or B/W. Even if multi-page originals include a combination of colour and B/W pages, the MX-4501N/3501N series selects the ideal mode for each page and outputs copies to match the original. |

| Built-in LDAP (lightweight directory access protocol) support eliminates the need to enter or register full addresses. By entering the first few letters of the recipient’s name, the MX-4501N/3501N series displays a list of possible matches from your company’s LDAP server. Selected addresses can be stored to the MX-4501N/3501N series’ address book. | ![]() |
| The MX-4501N/3501N series works as a full-colour network scanner that can be used with any Windows PC on the network. Converting any type of paper-based document, up to A3 (11" x 17") in size, into an editable digital file is as easy as making a copy. Seamlessly integrating paper-based documents and digital files makes it easy to share data and improve workflow. |
The optional MX-FXX1 Fax Expansion Kit turns the MX-4501N/3501N series into a 33.6 Kbps Super G3 fax. Using JBIG compression technology, the MX-4501N/3501N series can send an A4 (8 1/2" x 11") size page in under 3 seconds*. Use the 150-sheet DSPF or 100-sheet RSPF to further boost faxing efficiency. And, because Quick On-Line Transmission can start dialling and transmitting as soon as the first page is scanned into memory, you can send documents in much less time.
|
| The MX-4501N/3501N series eliminates the need to copy and staple received faxes by hand. Simply use the Fax Output setting on the LCD control panel to designate the number of copies. With finishing options installed, the MX-4501N/3501N series will even automatically staple these documents for you. | ![]() |

| With the DSPF/RSPF, the MX-4501N/3501N series scans both pages of two-sided documents and sorts them in memory. The pages are then transmitted in the proper order. The built-in duplex module saves paper costs by printing incoming faxes onto both sides of the paper. |
| You get two different functions simultaneously; for example, you can scan documents into memory for transmission while receiving an incoming fax. |
| DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT |
| You can save processed job data in designated folders on the MX-4501N/3501N series’ built-in hard disk, making it easy to instantly recall saved documents or jobs for printing and sending at a later time. This contributes greatly to efficient sharing and distribution of information in your business operations. |

| INDUSTRY-LEADING MULTI-LAYERED SECURITY |
| Digital copier/printers or multifunction products can retain hundreds of pages of confidential information from previous jobs on their hard disks or internal memory. To safeguard this information from unauthorised access, the optional Data Security Kit automatically encrypts and erases the data after each job is complete as well as data stored both on the hard disk and in the address book. |

| The embedded Network Interface provides highly secure operation by restricting access to the MX-4501N/3501N series on your office network. Only PCs that have either their IP address or MAC (media access control) address registered are allowed to use the MX-4501N/3501N series. Attempted access from an unknown IP or MAC address will be denied, preventing unauthorised use. |
| To prevent unauthorised viewing of confidential image data, the MX-4501N/3501N series enables users to password protect and encrypt PDF data. By setting a password when scanning, users can transmit a PDF over the network in encrypted format. Then, after transmission, viewers will only gain access to the encrypted PDF after successfully re-entering the chosen password. |

Document Control prevents unauthorised copying, scanning, faxing and filing of confidential documents. This is how it works: the MX-4501N/3501N series embeds copy prevention data onto a document when it is first copied or printed. It will then detect this data, for example, the next time someone tries to make a copy of the document. Any unauthorised attempts to copy a Document Controlled-document will simply be cancelled or result in the output of a blank page.

| To keep others from seeing confidential documents as they are being printed out, the MX-4501N/3501N series’ Print Hold function stores print data on its hard disk and withholds output until the user executes a print command from the control panel. For added security, the Confidential Print function requires the user to enter in a PIN (personal identification number) at the machine before printing can begin. |
![]() |
| A newly introduced SSL (Secure Socket Layer) enables the encryption of data communications to prevent data leakage through the network when printing via IPP or browsing secure Web pages (HTTPS). |
| The MX-4501N/3501N series prevents unauthorised operation, including use of the LDAP function, by requiring passwords for machine access. The MX-4501N/3501N series can also register up to 1,000 users in three access levels as Administrator, User and Guest. |
| ENVIRONMENT & USER-FRIENDLY |
| Integrating Sharp’s newly developed, environmentally advanced supplies, the MX-4501N/3501N series takes ecological performance to a whole new level. The revolutionary Mycrostoner offers a significantly lower consumption rate than conventional toners in a smaller cartridge that uses less packaging materials, while the longer-life photoconductor delivers higher performance than previous models. Combining earth-friendly features with an ecologically sound design, the MX-4501N/3501N series minimises burden on the environment while lowering consumption and costs. | ![]() |
