This is a slick MFP. It has great performance, and plenty of options that allow it to be easily integrated into the enterprise network. If you are planning on purchasing this for an office that will require more than basic functionality, and you do not have in-house IT staff, be sure to get things set up with their engineers before you deploy. The web interface is pretty straightforward, and operating the printer itself is child's play (we had users switch from 10 year old Canon to a 4100N with no training and no problems), it is when you start interfacing with network operating systems that you need to have some proficiency in that arena. We've got ~50 users set up locally to scan directly to their network documents folder, to ensure access from where ever they are, as well as nightly back up. There are several data transfer options, and they are all effective (among the best that I have dealt with).
The manual (which can be downloaded from the web interface - a welcome feature when supporting remote offices) is comprehensive, and has a very user friendly navigation system in the .PDF. (I would advise against printing this, as most of the functionality that makes the thing a whopping 831 pages is only useful in a .PDF viewer. I would recommend printing specific sections as needed, since Sharp has included all possible options in the same manual (also a nicety after spending hours of my life hunting down option-specific manuals).
All in all, an exceptional MFP for an office business doing a moderate to high volume of scans/prints/faxes. |
Problems: - Bulk user add would be nice. Typing in 50 user's scan paths is not a good way to spend an evening. The backup/restore function, once it is complete, is very nice.
- Web interface is not as snappy as I would like. All printers/MFPs seem to be dog slow... and while this is an improvement, I cannot for the life of me understand why these interfaces have to be THIS slow.
- LDAP integration is still as bad as any other device on the market. |

The manual for this machine is 833 pages long. Does that suggest to you that maybe it is over-complex?
I've never yet had a Sharp machine that was any use, and this is no exception. Unlike HP or Ricoh or any of the others, the whole functioning is counter-intuitive. The user experience is ghastly: everything takes ages to set up, there are far too many options - most of which you'll never use - and keeping up with the complicated routines for actually printing anything out is horrendous - unless you use it constantly all day every day. Apparently even the engineers don't understand it.
A solution in search of a problem. Best avoided.
