Introduction
The MX-3110N and MX-2610N – the world’s first multifunction systems to be equipped with ‘finger-swipe’ touch
control – a design evolution which is rapidly becoming an industry standard. The new 10.1” large LCD panel with
cutting-edge new functionality makes this machine one of the most desirable and easy to use MFPs in the industry.
The panel has no hard keys, other than power, power save, and home button. Its intuitive design and flick and tap
touch functionality makes it very easy to use and offers wider flexibility. The user can customise the home screen to
his/her own preference and the large screen makes it easier to read text and access applications.
An optional web browsing expansion kit enables the user to browse the Internet directly from the MFP panel and
print web content. Furthermore, the latest Sharp OSA offers enhanced integration by enabling connection to server
applications outside the firewall.
The MX-3110N and MX-2610N are ideal for any busy workgroup that needs high performance, high quality colour
and versatility in the office. Print and copy speeds are as fast as 31/26 pages per minute respectively – even in
colour – plus automatic two-sided colour scanning, robust security features, remote control and powerful utility
software. A range of options includes fax, extra security and a range of finishing options.
As well as being one of the most powerful A3 colour MFPs in its class, the MX-3110N / MX-2610N are also one of
the smallest. Yet every thought has been given to ease of use and energy efficiency.
The Energy Star-certified MX-3110N / MX-2610N are designed to fully support environmental objectives. Using LED
lights in the scanner for lower power consumption, reduced warm up time, limited power consumption in standby
mode, enhanced auto-power shut off mode and Eco mode all result in a versatile MFP with a Typical Energy
Consumption among the lowest in its class.
In summary the MX-3110N / MX-2610N are strong contenders in the competitive A3 colour MFP market, and well
placed to attack the main colour category within that market.

Market Analysis
Overview
Below is the historical data for A3 colour MFPs in all of Europe from 2005 to 2014 forecast. The A3 Colour MFP
market has dramatically increased since B to C (Black to Colour) strategy started around 2004-2005.
In 2008, the market more than doubled compared to 2005 (230.1% vs. 2005), and mainly 20-29 cpm category was
growing.
Even though it dropped during the big economic recession in 2009, but only around 4.6%. That shows the
demand of colour was quite strong.
InfoSource forecasted 2-digit increase in 2010, which is 114.8% vs. LY, then 5-6% growth will be expected from
2010 to 2014.
Actually, the market size in 2014 will be around 27% growth compared to 2010, and 20-29 cpm category will still
be the major category, which is around 60% of total category.

The graph below shows the growth of 2 segments, one is 20-24 cpm low-end category and the other is 25-36 cpm
main category. The MX-2610N and MX-3110N fit to 25-36 cpm category.
Until 2007, the majority of colour category was 25-36 cpm, but since 2008, the low-end category around 20-22 cpm
has risen and the sales have dramatically increased.
In 2010, it is 134.0% vs. LY in 20-24 cpm category. On the other hand, it is 107.5% vs. LY in 25-36 cpm category.
And market size of these 2 categories will be 55.1% from 25-36 cpm category.
So, from a market growth point of view, the low-end category is quite attractive, but still main category of A3 colour
MFP is the category which the new models are targeted at.

As a summary, this market is still increasing and is the main category in colour segmentation.
Currently Sharp offers 2 strong colour machines, MX-2600N / MX-3100N, but still there is room to get more market
share from competitors.
The new Sharp colour MFPs, MX-2610N / MX-3110N have high spec features and best image quality. And these 2
models will enhance Sharp market share to compete with competitor’s line-up.
So the MX-2610N / MX-3110N are Sharp’s solution to attack the main colour category.

Machine Life
The Machine Life represents the product design life for a machine that has used genuine Sharp supplies and has
been serviced at the preventative maintenance schedule by fully experienced technicians. It is intended for
planning purposes only due to the influence on the life of the product by external sources such as environment,
customer handling, copy/print media used and geographical location.
Maximum Monthly Volume
The Maximum Monthly Volume indicates the greatest volume the copier/printer can handle, when work
patterns demand. Continual copying/printing at the maximum level can result in reduced performance and a
shorter overall life.

Sharp is the first MFP manufacturer to offer a 10.1” large LCD panel with a new cutting-edge user interface with
‘finger-swipe’ touch control. The panel has no hard keys, other than power, power save, and home button. Its
intuitive design and flick and tap touch functionality makes it very easy to use, just like smart phones and tablet PCs,
and offers wider flexibility. The users can customise the home screen to his/her own preference and the large
screen makes it easier to read text and access applications, as well as the Web.

two areas. One is scroll area that displays selection icons for basic mode and the other is fixed area that displays

Basic Operation Panel Layout
Our conventional models have various hard keys: power source, energy saving, home, copy start (both B/W and
colour), system settings, job status, and 10 keys. MX-3110N / MX-2610N feature only three hard keys, power
source, energy saving, and home keys. Except for the above keys, MX-3110N / MX-2610N feature various soft keys,
which give the following advantages:
1. Preventing potential mistakes in operation.
2. The intuitive panel makes it easier to use and navigate.
3. Changes the place of keys/ higher priority features.

Send”, “Fax” and “Scan to Email” modes are prepared.
