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 wind.

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. And 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.

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*
1
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*
2
. Users can
then print the entire document in a single run.

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 PCL 6 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. And, an
optional Punch Module allows you to punch holes in documents
for easy filing.
* Requires optional MX-HD10 and MX-PB14.
Large Paper Capacity
For high-volume work, the MX-2010U can accommodate an
optional stand with 3 x 500-sheet paper drawers for a total
capacity of 2,100 sheets. 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 extra-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. And 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 MFP 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 (5
1
/2" x 8
1
/2"R) to A3 wide (12" x 18"). When using an
optional finisher or exit tray, you can do A3 (11" x 17") full-bleed
printing onto A3-wide (12" x 18") paper, without loss of image
area. And the MX-2010U can handle heavy paper stock up to 256
g/m
2
, 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 (44" x 68") 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.

Note: The above functions require optional MX-HD10 and MX-PB14.
*1: Direct printing may not support all PDF, TIFF, JPEG, and XPS formats. *2: Direct
PDF printing requires optional MX-PK11. *3: Direct XPS printing requires optional
MX-PUX1 and MX-SM10. *4: Requires optional MX-PF10.
Copy
• Book Copy is convenient for compiling copies of a book or
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 Mycrostoner-HG (High Grade)
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. And 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 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 PCL 6 and PostScript 3 (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.
