A Heavy-Duty Productivity Booster
While the MX-7500N/6500N holds 3,100 sheets of paper, this standard
capacity can be expanded to meet the needs of high-volume jobs.
Adding an optional 500-sheet Multi-Bypass Tray and two 5,000-sheet
(2,500 × 2) Large Capacity Trays boosts capacity to 13,500 sheets and
enables a maximum 9-way automatic paper feed. And when a tray runs
out of paper, the Auto Tray Switching function automatically switches
to another tray with the same-sized paper.
Large Paper Capacity
The MX-7500N/6500N accommodates a wide variety of sizes, weights, and types of paper, expanding the range of possible printing applications.
Versatile Paper Handling
The MX-7500N/6500N’s Paper Setting Registration function allows
instant recall of pre-registered media profiles. It stores up to 1,000
media profiles that include front-to-back registration settings (see page
5), data on fusing temperature, and data on the type, size, and weight
of paper used. This allows identical, frequently executed jobs to be
performed without the need to set the MFP each time, thereby helping
to save time and ensure consistency from job to job.
Paper Setting Registration
The MX-7500N/6500N can scan both pages of two-sided B/W and colour
documents up to A3 size in one efficient pass. Capable of scanning
one-sided A4-size (8 1/2" × 11") documents at 75 opm* and two-sided
A4 documents at 150 opm*, the 150-sheet DSPF (duplex single pass
feeder) minimises paper misfeeds and brings fast, reliable operation.
* Originals per minute (when feeding A4-size documents at 200-dpi resolution)
High-Efficiency Scanning
Built to meet the rigorous, high-volume demands of offices, copy rooms,
CRD, and corporate data centres, the MX-7500N/6500N delivers copying
and printing at an impressive speed of 75/65 cpm/ppm for A4 paper
and 42/38 cpm/ppm for A3 paper. Advanced technology, integrated
network scanning, and flexible configurations expedite job processing
and streamline document workflow like never before. And to bring
productivity and reliability where it’s needed most, this high-volume
workhorse boasts a 1TB hard disk and 5GB of standard memory.
A Winning Combination of Speed and Power
With an optional High Capacity Stacker,
the MX-7500N/6500N can
accommodate up to 5,000 sheets,
expandable to 10,000 sheets when two
stackers are connected in tandem. Each
stacker comes with a roll-out Paper
Cart for effortless and efficient
transport.
High Capacity Stacker
The optional Status Indicator provides
diagnostics via green and red LED lights
that are clearly visible from a distance.
The green light remains lit while a job is
being executed and blinks while
document data is being read. The red
light blinks or lights up to indicate an
error that may or may not prevent normal operation.
Status Indicator
To boost information sharing and distribution, processed job data can be
saved in designated folders on the MX-7500N/6500N’s built-in hard disk
for instant recall, printing, or sending at a later time. Data for frequently
used template documents can also be saved on the hard disk, enabling
quick and easy output for enhanced productivity. The MX-7500N/6500N
can also store PostScript print data, so that users get consistent results
every time they reprint a selected data file.
Document Management on the Hard Disk
The MX-7500N/6500N’s hard disk enables files created with applications
such as Word and Excel®to be saved in their original file format and
shared across the office network.
Note: Sharp recommends using the optional Mirroring Kit to back up data saved to
the MFP’s hard disk.
Easy Sharing of Application Files
Printing continues during toner cartridge replacement
Limitless Operation
There’s no need to stop the MX-7500N/6500N during large-volume
copy/print jobs when the toner cartridge needs changing or when a
paper tray needs replenishing. This means minimum downtime for the
MFP during busy workloads. The MX-7500N/6500N can use toner from
the large intermediate toner hopper to continue printing while the
empty toner cartridge is replaced with a new one. Paper trays not
currently in use can also be replenished without stopping the machine.

Reliability Builders
Superb, Stable Image Quality
A precision-engineered Multi-Feed Detection System employs ultrasonic
technology and separation rollers for double-fed paper to detect and
prevent misfeeds from the paper feed section for maximum uptime.
Multi-Feed Detection System
The MX-7500N/6500N was developed to provide high image quality
approaching that of commercial offset printers. With Sharp having
reinforced all elements related to image processing—including the toner
and colour profiles—the MX-7500N/6500N boasts a colour gamut that is
almost identical to that of offset printers.
Wide Colour Gamut
Third-generation Mycrostoner-HG3 (High Grade) expands the colour
reproducibility range for a more natural rendering of clear blue skies,
emerald green oceans, and other colour images. And the smaller particle
size of the toner and the carrier allows for reduced graininess and clear
reproduction of fine lines, fine text, and halftone colours.
Mycrostoner-HG3
The MX-7500N/6500N employs 8-bit image processing to deliver
razor-sharp 1,200 x 1,200 dpi printing—without sacrificing output
speed. Digital smoothing technology enhances the print and copy
resolution to the equivalent of 9,600 x 600 dpi for smooth reproduction
of fine lines. Fine-grained photographs, detailed illustrations and graphs,
and small text come out crisp and clear.
High-Resolution Output
In addition to conventional line screening, the MX-7500N/6500N
employs the dot screening technique—typically found on offset
printers—for colour and greyscale printing. Thanks to dot screening, the
MX-7500N/6500N can emulate the high-quality printing of commercial
offset printers, even when performing on-demand printing.
Dot Screening Technique
To meet the demands for high image quality, accurate colour
registration, and stable output, the MX-7500N/6500N employs functions
that automatically make the right adjustments at the right time without
sacrificing print speed. These functions enable the MFP to deliver highly
precise printing and stable colour quality, so that a consistently high level
of print quality and productivity is maintained over the long run, from
first page to last.
• When printing large numbers of multi-page documents, the
MX-7500N/6500N automatically adjusts the print position so that each
of the CMYK colours is printed at the correct registration.
• The MX-7500N/6500N’s registration sensors precisely detect the
position of registration patches printed on the transfer belt. These
measurements are then used to make minute adjustments—when
necessary—of the print position for each CMYK colour.
• The temperature inside the machine is measured by sensors in key
areas of the MFP, such as the LSU (laser scanning unit) and
paper-transfer section. The MFP uses this information to make
automatic adjustments before print quality can be affected by
temperature changes.
• For even greater precision, a sensor detects any skewing of the laser
beam that goes from the LSU to the photosensitive drum, so that the
MFP can make automatic adjustments to eliminate such skewing.
Precise Colour Registration
The MX-7500N/6500N supports genuine Adobe PostScript 3 for better
graphics handling. Complex colour graphics can be printed out in a short
time with minimal error, and multiple colour spaces such as RGB, CMYK,
and Lab can be used.
Adobe®PostScript®3™
Based on feedback from two paper-position sensors located in the paper
path, the MX-7500N/6500N employs an image shift function to
automatically adjust the position of printed images with respect to the
edges of a page. This precise front-to-back registration ensures exact
correspondence of the printed material, so that consistently high levels
of quality can be achieved when producing leaflets, brochures, and other
documents—including those with two-sided double-page spreads or
those that are to be saddle stitched and trimmed. Users can also
manually adjust vertical/horizontal ratio* and position settings to achieve
even more precise front-to-back registration.
* Available only for Sharp printer driver.
Front-to-Back Registration
For reliable output of two-sided copies and prints, the MX-7500N/6500N
provides built-in curl correction to uncurl paper just after transfer. And
for added stability, the optional Curl Correction Unit uses top and
bottom rollers to apply pressure to convex and concave curls, preventing
paper from warping before it goes to the finisher.
Curl Correction
In order to achieve consistent image
quality from first page to last, Sharp
developed the Developer Refresh
System. In this system, toner and
carrier are delivered to the developing
unit at the same time. By discharging
old developer little by little and
continuously replacing it with new
developer, this system prevents
developer deterioration, ensuring
stable print quality over the long term.
Developer Refresh System
A highly rigid support frame isolates
and protects critical machine
components in the MX-7500N/6500N,
ensuring increased durability and
reliability. The unit can withstand heavy
use in locations where rapid,
high-volume output is demanded.
Highly Rigid Main Frame
The Triple Air-Feed System on the optional 5,000-sheet MX-LC13 Large
Capacity Trays reliably separates and feeds in paper to facilitate jam-free
operation and minimise downtime. Capable of supporting a wide range of
paper types, this system employs air-feed technology and three precisely
directed air flows for maximum reliability and proper paper handling.
Triple Air-Feed System
Particularly convenient during toner cartridge replacement, an unlikely
paper jam, and other operations, full front access to all key machine
components ensures easy maintenance—and maximum uptime.
Full Front Access
To maintain a consistently high image quality during large-volume print
jobs, the MX-7500N/6500N employs an enhanced periodic colour
calibration system. Image density sensors monitor
image consistency to minimise colour variance
between pages. As an added advantage,
the MFP makes the necessary colour
adjustments without stopping
the print job, ensuring
time-efficient printing.
Auto Process Control
Breathtaking Image Quality
Advanced Technologies to Maintain High Image Quality
The MX-7500N/6500N has a machine adjustment menu to enable MFP
administrators (i.e., trained print room managers) to access and
configure machine set-up for a total of 50 items in three areas: image
quality, image position/ratio/
area, and peripherals. As there
is no need to call for outside
service staff when making MFP
adjustments, machine
downtime is reduced and
productivity boosted.

Third-generation Mycrostoner-HG3 (High Grade) expands the colour
reproducibility range for a more natural rendering of clear blue skies,
emerald green oceans, and other colour images. And the smaller particle
size of the toner and the carrier allows for reduced graininess and clear
reproduction of fine lines, fine text, and halftone colours.

Eco-Friendly Advances
Multi-Layered Security
Digital copier/printers and MFPs retain large amounts of data generated
from copy/print/scan/fax jobs in internal storage. To safeguard
confidential data from unauthorised access, standard-equipped security
features on the MX-7500N/6500N automatically encrypt job data prior
to saving it to internal storage. Once a job is finished, that encrypted
data is erased via up to seven automatic overwrites. Protection of
administrator/file/ folder passwords brings further peace of mind.
Data Encryption and Overwriting
Based on usage patterns established over a four-week period, Enhanced
Auto Power Shut-Off mode automatically determines the optimal length
of time to let elapse before turning the power off. To accommodate
intensive use of the MFP on a specific day or time, users can manually set
the elapse time to suit their specific usage patterns.
Enhanced Auto Power Shut-Off Mode
The technologies described here dramatically reduce power consumption
and give the MX-7500N/6500N a smaller environmental footprint than
previous models. And because of its reduced power consumption, the
MX-7500N/6500N boasts lower TEC values* than the maximum
allowable values determined by ENERGY STAR®. A shorter warm-up time
brings additional convenience.
* Typical amount of energy consumed in a hypothetical week measured as
stipulated under the ENERGY STAR®programme.
Reduced Power Consumption
Sharp’s belt fusing system reduces energy consumption and as a result,
shortens the MX-7500N/6500N’s warm-up time to 90 seconds.
Belt Fusing System
Energy-efficient LED lamps employed in the scan unit (instead of
conventional xenon lamps) provide further energy savings.
LED Lamps
The Power ON/OFF Schedule function automatically turns the
MX-7500N/6500N on or off according to time schedules set by the
administrator.
Power ON/OFF Scheduling
Eco Scan function saves energy by turning off power to the fusing
system during jobs that don’t require any printing, such as Image
Sending and Document Filing.
Eco Scan
The MX-7500N/6500N prevents unauthorised use by requiring passwords
for machine access. This safeguarded solution can register up to 1,000
users in three access levels as Administrator, User, or Guest and can
designate to which function user authentication applies. And the
MX-7500N/6500N works with an external Active Directory server to
extend user authentication to multiple MFPs and a greater number of users.
User Authentication
With this function, a watermark, such as “Confidential” or “Not for
Copy,” can be embedded onto a document. If that document is copied,
the watermark will appear, alerting the user not to distribute it.
Hidden Pattern Copy/Print
This function prints the MFP user’s name, the date, the MFP’s serial
number, the job ID, and other specifics on printouts, making it possible
to track documents and prevent data theft.
Tracking Information Print
• Mirroring Kit (option) provides backup for the MFP’s hard disk
• Supports the IEEE 802.1X standard for port-based network access control
and the IEEE 2600 standard for hardcopy device and system security
• IP/MAC address filtering restricts unauthorised access
• SSL and IPsec enable data encryption for secure network
communications
• Retained data can be initialised when it’s time to replace the MFP
• Encrypted PDF secures a document by scanning it into a password-
protected PDF for transmission over the network in encrypted format
Other Key Features
Document Control prevents unauthorised copying, scanning, faxing, and
filing of confidential documents by embedding copy prevention data onto
a document. When that data is detected, any unauthorised attempts to
copy will be cancelled or will result in only blank-page output.
Note: Requires optional Data Security Kit. May not work for certain types of
documents or paper.

Eco-Friendly Advances
Multi-Layered Security
Digital copier/printers and MFPs retain large amounts of data generated
from copy/print/scan/fax jobs in internal storage. To safeguard
confidential data from unauthorised access, standard-equipped security
features on the MX-7500N/6500N automatically encrypt job data prior
to saving it to internal storage. Once a job is finished, that encrypted
data is erased via up to seven automatic overwrites. Protection of
administrator/file/ folder passwords brings further peace of mind.
Data Encryption and Overwriting
Based on usage patterns established over a four-week period, Enhanced
Auto Power Shut-Off mode automatically determines the optimal length
of time to let elapse before turning the power off. To accommodate
intensive use of the MFP on a specific day or time, users can manually set
the elapse time to suit their specific usage patterns.
Enhanced Auto Power Shut-Off Mode
The technologies described here dramatically reduce power consumption
and give the MX-7500N/6500N a smaller environmental footprint than
previous models. And because of its reduced power consumption, the
MX-7500N/6500N boasts lower TEC values* than the maximum
allowable values determined by ENERGY STAR®. A shorter warm-up time
brings additional convenience.
* Typical amount of energy consumed in a hypothetical week measured as
stipulated under the ENERGY STAR®programme.
Reduced Power Consumption
Sharp’s belt fusing system reduces energy consumption and as a result,
shortens the MX-7500N/6500N’s warm-up time to 90 seconds.
Belt Fusing System
Energy-efficient LED lamps employed in the scan unit (instead of
conventional xenon lamps) provide further energy savings.
LED Lamps
The Power ON/OFF Schedule function automatically turns the
MX-7500N/6500N on or off according to time schedules set by the
administrator.
Power ON/OFF Scheduling
Eco Scan function saves energy by turning off power to the fusing
system during jobs that don’t require any printing, such as Image
Sending and Document Filing.
Eco Scan
The MX-7500N/6500N prevents unauthorised use by requiring passwords
for machine access. This safeguarded solution can register up to 1,000
users in three access levels as Administrator, User, or Guest and can
designate to which function user authentication applies. And the
MX-7500N/6500N works with an external Active Directory server to
extend user authentication to multiple MFPs and a greater number of users.
User Authentication
With this function, a watermark, such as “Confidential” or “Not for
Copy,” can be embedded onto a document. If that document is copied,
the watermark will appear, alerting the user not to distribute it.
Hidden Pattern Copy/Print
This function prints the MFP user’s name, the date, the MFP’s serial
number, the job ID, and other specifics on printouts, making it possible
to track documents and prevent data theft.
Tracking Information Print
• Mirroring Kit (option) provides backup for the MFP’s hard disk
• Supports the IEEE 802.1X standard for port-based network access control
and the IEEE 2600 standard for hardcopy device and system security
• IP/MAC address filtering restricts unauthorised access
• SSL and IPsec enable data encryption for secure network
communications
• Retained data can be initialised when it’s time to replace the MFP
• Encrypted PDF secures a document by scanning it into a password-
protected PDF for transmission over the network in encrypted format
Other Key Features
Document Control prevents unauthorised copying, scanning, faxing, and
filing of confidential documents by embedding copy prevention data onto
a document. When that data is detected, any unauthorised attempts to
copy will be cancelled or will result in only blank-page output.
Note: Requires optional Data Security Kit. May not work for certain types of
documents or paper.
Document Control Function (option)
Note: Contact a Sharp customer representative for details on activating
these security functions.
