Introduction
The MX-5112N and MX-4112N are the next generation MFPs with high speed, high productivity, environmentally
advanced features and leading edge design user interface.
These A3 full colour machines are a great choice for any mid to large office that needs high performance, high
quality colour and versatility in the office. Print and copy speeds are as fast as 51/41 pages per minute respectively –
in colour and black & white – plus automatic two-sided colour scanning, robust security features, remote access
interface and powerful utility software. A range of options includes fax, extra security and a wide range of finishing
options.
These new machines are also 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.
The Energy Star-certified MX-5112N / MX-4112N 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.
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.
In summary the MX-5112N / MX-4112N 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 had more than doubled compared to 2005 (230.1% vs. 2005) mainly growing in the 20-29 cpm
category. However, if we look at the ratio, by category, from 2005 to 2008, the 30–49 cpm category has increased
by 448.4% vs. 2005 (20-29 cpm category is 296.3% vs. 2005).
Even though it dropped during the big economic recession in 2009, around 4.6% this shows the demand of colour
was quite strong.
InfoSource forecasted a 2-digit increase in 2010, which is 115.2% vs. LY, and then 5-7% growth will be expected
from 2010 to 2014.
The market size in 2014 will be around 26.4% growth compared to 2010, and the 20-29 cpm and 30-49 cpm
category will still be the major category, which is over 90% for both categories.

Below is the historical data from 2005 to 2010, projected in 40-45 cpm and 46-51 cpm colour category, which is our
new product category.
Until 2008, this category was driven by the 40-45 cpm model which showed a huge expansion compared to 2005
(3213% vs. 2005).
However, since 2009, Infosource data shows a speed shift from the 40-45 cpm to 46-51 cpm category. As
projected in 2010, the 46-51 cpm category has doubled in the market from 2008 although 40-45 cpm is 121.4% vs.
2008.

This category is shared by 4 brands with a 2-digit market share.
Ricoh has 1st position with 26.2% and Konica Minolta has 2nd position with 15.8%, Canon has 14.2% in 3rd place
followed in 4th place with Xerox. This positioning is exactly the same for the 25-36 cpm category.
Ricoh has 2 good models in this category, which are the MPC4000 (40 cpm) and MPC5000 (50 cpm). Since Ricoh
launched their current colour line-up, they have been quite successful in the colour category with good features and
aggressive pricing. From the end of last year Ricoh have refreshed their line-up with improved speed;
MPC3001/C3501/C4501/C5501.
Canon is now heavily promoting their new colour iR-Advance series. 2 iR-Advance models are placed in a good 4th
and 5th ranking;
Konica Minolta also has 1 model which is the 45 cpm, but is ranked 2nd. The C552 is also ranked due to colour
speed, but this model is for high-end departmental.

European A3 Colour Market Share by model
As a summary, this market is strongly increasing with many manufacturers, but we can still see the market expanding
year by year.
Sharp offers 4 good colour machines, which are the MX-4100N/4101N/5000N/5001N, but there is still a lot more
room to increase our market share from competitors.
The new Sharp colour MFPs, MX-5112N / MX-4112N, have great features and the best image quality; this is the
Sharp solution to attack this category to expand our business.

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.

Key Selling Points
Intuitive User Interface
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 swipe 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.
Home Screen
MX-5112N / MX-4112N have a Home screen with a choice of six different patterns. Basically the screen has two
areas. One is scroll area that displays selection icons for basic mode and the other is fixed area that displays
system-related icons. Users can change the home screen display including whether they show the fixed area or not.
No. Fixed area exists or not Number of icons on the
scroll area
Icon size on the scroll
area
Maximum number of
scroll screens
Pattern 1 Yes 4 160 x 160px 15
Pattern 2 No 8 160 x 160px 8
Pattern 3 Yes 8 100 x 100px 8
Pattern 4 No 12 100 x 100px 5
Pattern 5 (Default) Yes 12 86 x 86px 5
Pattern 6 No 18 86 x 86px 3
Note: This pattern can be changed on web page only.
Legibility of Characters
The MX-5112N / MX-4112N’s UI design has greater legibility of characters which makes it easier to read small fonts.
1. Adopt scalable fonts: smooth and bold font design.
2. Enlarge basic text size: its size is 15% larger than previous models.
3. Prepare large character mode: its text size is 30% larger than normal mode.

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-5112N / MX-4112N feature only three hard keys, power
source, energy saving, and home keys. Except for the above keys, the MX-5112N / MX-4112N 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.
In addition, the main mode of MX-5112N / MX-4112N has changed from conventional models instead of “Image
Send”, “Fax” and “Scan to Email” modes are prepared.
Favourite
Users can register or edit frequently used features as their favourite from ‘my favourite’ menu or each feature
screen.
Action Panel
The action panel appears on the right side of the basic screen of each feature. The panel displays the link button
and/or message related to the current displayed screen by proposing next operation. It allows users to choose
the desired feature quickly.
Program
Although the program registration method is different between Copy and Image Send, the MX-5112N /
MX-4112N’s job program in the case of both Copy and Image Send are the same. Users can register the job
program easier than before. The maximum number of job programs that users can register is 48 plus 1 for preset.
In addition, users easily call the registered program by pressing the “Call Program” displayed on the action panel/
home screen. They can also register the paper type for bypass tray.
