HIGH PERFORMANCE
From conception to execution, the goal in any production environment is performance.
That is why Sharp engineered breakthrough performance features into the MX-M850—
precision design characteristics you cannot see but will certainly appreciate in daily use
.
Among the best in class by virtually all measures, the support includes an eight-way
paper supply and a paper capacity of up to 8,050 sheets.
SUPERIOR PAPER SUPPORT
The 10.4-inch colour LCD touch-screen display, with a job status lamp that is easily
visible from across the room, helps you intuitively navigate any job.
HIGH-VISIBILITY CONTROL PANEL
A high-performance RISC processor draws maximum performance from the printer
engine to achieve an amazing 85 prints per minute on A4-size paper.
FAST PRINT PERFORMANCE
Sharp’s large-capacity Duplex Single Pass Feeder (DSPF) with duplex scanning
technology scans two-sided documents in a single pass. For maximum productivity and
minimal paper handling, Sharp’s DSPF can handle up to 250 sheets at an impressively
fast scanning speed of 85 opm for the MX-M850.
ADVANCED SCANNING CAPABILITY
This powerful machine is fully network-ready and offers Web-based device management
for easy configuration and set-up.
STANDARD NETWORK INTERFACE
Full front access to all key machine components ensures easy maintenance and thus
maximum uptime. The durable organic photoconductor drum (OPC) has a long service
life of up to one million copies. Since 500,000 copies can be made before periodical
maintenance is required, machine downtime is reduced.
*First print out time based on A4-size paper.
EASY SERVICEABILITY
Precision engineering for proven durability and surprisingly quiet operation makes it
easy to own and work with.
QUIET OPERATION

Developer Cooling Systems
The MX-M850’s forced-air cooling system for the developer unit
helps prevent excessive heat build-up to keep image quality stable
even in high-volume environments.
Slide-Out Components for Easy Maintenance
This design makes service and general maintenance of the MX-M850
easier by allowing technicians to slide out main units to adjust or
exchange sub-components, thus eliminating the need to disassemble
the entire machine.
Independently Driven Units
Independent motor units are employed for essential functions of the
MX-M850, such as the paper pick-up unit and the paper transfer unit.
This design improvement provides highly reliable operation and helps
ensure dependable paper transportation throughout each reprographic
cycle, increasing durability for the long run.
Highly Rigid Main Frame
For increased reliability and durability, a newly developed, highly
rigid frame better protects and isolates critical machine components.
It also ensures that the MX-M850 can withstand heavy use from
high-speed, high-volume output.

Account codes
Account management enables administrators to control access
functions (Copy, Scan, Internet Fax, Fax, and Print) and to
monitor usage.
Security at your fingertips
Get the control and security you need to minimise risk in today’s
changing office environment. The MX-M850 document system
supports LDAP with integrated User Authentication. This allows
workgroups to regulate access to features and functions, providing
unprecedented control over usage and costs. Three levels of access
protect sensitive documents from being scanned, faxed, or
e-mailed, so your data is never compromised.
Document protection
To protect your printed documents from unauthorised viewing, the
MX-M850 document system supports IPP-SSL protocol, and offer
confidential printing that requires users to enter a PIN code in order
to print a document in the queue.
Network scanning access
To protect your network from unauthorised e-mail communications,
the MX-M850 supports IPP-SSL, SMTP-SSL, FTPS, and
User Authentication, requiring users to log in before performing
any network scanning operations.
Tracking and auditing information
Legislative and industry policies require companies to be aware of
information flow. Sharp offers both built-in and additional
hardware/software that allows users to control, access, and track
usage of each MFP on the network. These scalable security
offerings protect intellectual property, preserve confidential
information, and help your business meet regulatory requirements.
Data encryption and erase
To better protect your data, the MX-M850 document system offers
an optional Data Security Kit that encrypts document data.
Additionally, the Data Security Kit erases the temporary memory on
the hard drive by overwriting encrypted data up to seven times,
providing an unprecedented level of assurance.
IP/MAC address filtering
To prevent unauthorised use of the MX-M850 over the network,
IP/MAC address filtering grants access only to PCs that have
registered IP or MAC addresses and blocks access attempts from
unknown addresses. Protocol enable/disable and port management
also help maximise security.
Additional network security
To help restrict access to the MFP over the network, the
MX-M850 document system offers:
sSecure Socket Layer (SSL Encryption)
sIPv6 and IPsec
sIP/MAC address filtering, protocol enable/disable, and port
management for maximum security
