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

PRODUCTIVE SUPERB PRINT QUALITY

VERSATILE

Super-Efficient Colour and B/W Output

The tandem printing engine with four in-line drums helps the

MX-2010U deliver a fast output of 20 cpm/ppm* in full colour

and in B/W. The first copy comes out in just 10.2 seconds in full

colour and 8.8 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-2010U’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-2010U 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

optional 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-2010U easily handles large-volume copy jobs exceeding

the RSPF’s 100-sheet*

capacity. For example, a 270-sheet original

can be scanned as batches of 100 + 100 + 70 sheets and

automatically stored on the MX-2010U’s hard disk*

. Users can

then print the entire document in a single run.

*1: A4, 80 g/m

*2: Requires optional MX-HD10. 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-2010U 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-2010U supports the PCL6 printer language.* For

compatibility with PostScript 3, the MX-PK11 PS3 Expansion Kit is

available.*

* Requires optional MX-HD10 and MX-PB14.

Automated Finishing

The MX-2010U 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-HD10 and MX-PB14.

Paper Capacity

The MX-2010U can accommodate an optional stand with 1 x

500-sheet paper drawer.

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 large

volume jobs without worry.

Network Tandem Function*

When two MX-2010Us are connected to the same office network,

you can use both simultaneously to double copying/printing

output to up to 40 cpm/ppm. Large-volume jobs can be

completed with ease, enabling you to meet tight deadlines.

* Requires optional MX-HD10 and MX-PB14.

Convenient Copy Previews*

To prevent errors in copying, the

MX-2010U shows previews of copy

jobs on its LCD before actually

executing them. With previews, it’s

easy to confirm finishing options,

scan settings, and other such items.

* Requires optional MX-HD10.

NETWORK-READY

USB Memory Direct Print*

One of the two USB ports on the MX-2010U 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-HD10 and MX-PB14.

Versatile Paper Handling

The MX-2010U 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-2010U can handle heavy paper stock up to

256 g/m

, overhead transparencies, and other types of paper,

further expanding the range of printing applications.

Image Editing Functions

The MX-2010U 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.

• Mirror Image makes a reverse image of the original.

• XY Zoom adjusts the horizontal and vertical ratios independently.

• B/W Reverse reverses the black and white of an image.

Please see specifications for a list of available convenient functions.

bound originals into pamphlet format.

• Card Shot enables one-touch copying of both sides of a card

(credit cards, ID cards, etc.) onto a single page.

• Colour Stamp labels your copies with page numbers, the date

or text such as “Urgent” in up to four different colours.

• Mixed Size Original Copy mode automatically distinguishes

documents of mixed sizes* (such as A3/B4, B4/A4, etc.) fed

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-2010U; now a high-performance processor, a new developer,

and the second-generation high grade toner 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-2010U 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-2010U 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-2010U to print out maps with

crisp, clear text and to automatically remove the background colour

on newspaper and magazine copies for clearer output.
