Third-generation (3G) Sharp Auto Colour Mode

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.

Super-Efficient Colour and B/W Output

The tandem printing engine with four in-line drums helps the 
MX-4101N/4100N deliver a fast output of 

41 cpm/ppm

* in full 

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

6.7 seconds

 in 

full colour and 

4.7 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-4101N/4100N’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.

Automatic Document Feeding

The MX-4101N comes standard with a highly efficient 

150-sheet 

DSPF

 (duplex single pass feeder), which 

scans both pages

 of 

two-sided documents 

up to A3

 size in one pass. Doing away with 

the reversing circuit minimises paper misfeeds and vastly improves 
reliability. The MX-4100N is equipped with a 

100-sheet RSPF

 

(reversing single pass feeder).  

Built-in Stackless Duplex Module

The MX-4101N/4100N 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 used together with the DSPF/RSPF. 

Network Tandem Function

When two MX-4101N/4100Ns are connected to the same office 
network, you can use both simultaneously to double copying/
printing output to up to 

82 cpm/ppm

. Large-volume jobs can be 

completed with ease, enabling you to meet tight deadlines. 

Polished Finishing

The MX-4101N/4100N makes it easy to create 
professional-looking booklets. The 

chapter divide

 function lets 

you print out all chapters starting on either odd- or 
even-numbered pages to give documents a consistent, polished 
look. The newly designed 

Saddle Stitch Finisher

 option staples 

documents up to 50 pages long and can fold and staple sets of 
documents up to 15 pages long to make completed booklets. It 
also features a new 

bi-folding

 function that folds individual 

pages, up to size A3, in half—eliminating the tedious task of 
folding pages by hand. A space-efficient 

Finisher

 is also available 

for jobs that require only simple sorting 
and stapling, while another option, a 

4,000-sheet Finisher

, speeds through 

large projects to give you complete 
control over deadlines. Plus, an optional 

Punch Module

 allows you to punch 

holes in documents for easy filing. 

Large Paper Capacity

For high-volume work, the MX-4101N/4100N 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. 

Job Build for Large-Volume Scanning

The MX-4101N/4100N easily handles large-volume copy jobs 
exceeding the DSPF/RSPF’s 150/100-sheet*

1

 capacity. For example, 

a 270-sheet original can be scanned as batches of 150 + 120 (or 
100 + 100 + 70) sheets and automatically stored on the 
MX-4101N/4100N’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.

NETWORK-READY

Easy, High-Quality Copying

The MX-4101N/4100N features 

third-generation Sharp Auto 

Colour Mode

, anyone—with just a push of the start button—can 

easily and automatically make copies that are faithful to the 
original. Here’s how it works. 

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. This is what allows 
the MX-4101N/4100N to print out maps with crisp, clear text and 
to automatically remove the background colour on newspaper and 
magazine copies for clearer output. When copying in B/W, 
multi-level error diffusion technology provides dramatically 
smoother gradation in photos and subtle greyscale images.    

USB Memory Direct Print

One of the two USB ports on the MX-4101N/4100N 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. 

Versatile Paper Handling

The MX-4101N/4100N 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. Thanks to its tandem printing method, 
the MX-4101N/4100N 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-4101N/4100N includes colourful editing functions made 
possible by digital technology.

through the DSPF/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-4101N/4100N; now a high-performance processor, a new 
developer, and the newly developed high grade toner combine to 
provide breathtaking image quality. The smaller particle size of the  
toner and the developer allows for reduced graininess and clear 
reproduction of fine lines and halftone colours. 

True 1,200 x 1,200-dpi Printing

The MX-4101N/4100N’s print engine provides razor-sharp 
1,200-dpi printing—without sacrificing output speed—for 
ultra-clear image quality. Fine lines and small text come out crisper 
and easier to read.
