A Range of Copy/Print Applications
Multi Shot and Booklet Making
Thanks to Multi Shot, two to eight pages of a multi-page
document can be copied and up to 16 pages can be printed onto
a single sheet, reducing paper use. And with the optional Saddle
Stitch Finisher, multiple sheets can be automatically centre-stapled
together to make booklets.
Built-In Duplex Module and RSPF
The MX-5140N/4140N’s built-in stackless duplex module can make
two-sided copies and printouts, effectively reducing paper costs
as well as saving filing space. Duplex copying is even more
effective with the standard-equipped 100-sheet RSPF (reversing
single pass feeder), which efficiently feeds in either one- or
two-sided originals. With a scanning speed of up to 51 opm* for
both colour and B/W documents, the MX-5140N/4140N can
complete large jobs with ease and efficiency.

, and Mac operating
systems and network protocols—including IPv6—even in mixed
OS environments. You get fast, powerful network printing via the
1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet standard.
COPYING & NETWORK PRINTING
PRODUCTIVE
Improved Imaging System
Sharp thoroughly revamped its imaging process for the
MX-5140N/4140N; 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.
Easy, High-Quality Copying
Built to deliver automated, high-quality copying, the MX-5140N/
4140N can reproduce maps with crisp, clear text and can remove
unnecessary background colour from newspaper and magazine
copies. Here’s how it works: Auto Colour Mode analyses the
contents of each page to distinguish between different
components, such as photos and text, and then selects the
appropriate copy mode for that page. Auto Colour Selection
automatically determines whether a page is colour or B/W and
then copies that page accordingly. And Auto Exposure
automatically removes unnecessary background colour for clearer
output.
High-Resolution Output
The MX-5140N/4140N delivers 600-dpi copying and razor-sharp
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 incredibly smooth
reproduction of fine lines. Fine-grained photographs, detailed
illustrations and graphs, and small text come out crisp and clear.
• Tab Copy / Tab Print can copy or print directly onto tabs on
document separators and insert them into assigned positions.
• Multi-Page Enlargement divides an image onto separate
sheets for copying/printing posters.
• Carbon Copy Print mode automatically outputs multiple
printouts of the same data on plain and/or coloured paper;
convenient for invoices and purchase orders.
• Form Overlay can store office document formatting such as
letterheads and overlay contents in colour, eliminating the need
for pre-printed paper.
• Barcode font compatibility
(requires optional MX-PF10)
• Card Shot enables easy 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.
• Book Copy is convenient for compiling copies of a book or
bound originals into pamphlet format.
SUPERB IMAGE QUALITY
Simultaneous Job Processing
The MX-5140N/4140N makes it easy to simultaneously carry out
multiple jobs. Scanned documents can be copied and e-mailed at
the same time. And documents can be simultaneously printed and
faxed for ultra-convenient multitasking.
VERSATILE OPERATION
Book Divide
When copying or scanning a booklet or book, the Book Divide
function separates the right and left (or the top and bottom) of a
two-page spread and outputs each page in the original page order.
Layout Print
This function repeats an entire page layout as a single image. The
user can specify whether or not to repeat the first page (cover
page) of the document.
Heavy-Paper Handling
The MX-5140N/4140N can handle heavy paper up to
300 g/m
2
, further expanding the range of printing applications.
Image Positioning
With this function, a scanned image, such as a photo or an
illustration, can be copied onto another document in a position
specified by the user. The output can be confirmed beforehand
using the Advanced Preview function on the LCD.
Repeat Layout
Upgraded from the conventional Photo Repeat function, this
function can repeat an entire page layout as a single image onto a
single sheet.
Auto Zoom for Irregular-Size Originals
With Auto Zoom, after the user specifies the required finished size
of a copy, the MX-5140N/4140N will automatically calculate the
appropriate ratio by which to reduce or enlarge an irregular-size
original.
Extra Paper Capacity
For high-volume work, the
MX-5140N/4140N can
accommodate an optional stand
with 2,000-sheet paper drawer
for a total capacity of 6,600
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.
Custom Images
Customised images prepared by
the user, such as a company logo
stamp or a “TOP SECRET”
watermark, can be used on copies.
Direct Printing*

The MX-5140N/4140N can print PDF, TIFF, JPEG, XPS*
2
, and other
files without using the printer driver. And there’s a USB port
beneath its control panel, which 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.
*1: Direct printing may not support all PDF, TIFF, JPEG, and XPS formats.
*2: Direct XPS printing requires optional MX-PUX1.
Automated Finishing
The MX-5140N/4140N offers plenty of finishing options to suit a
variety of workplaces and applications. For basic sorting/stapling of
documents of up to 50 sheets, two types of handy finishers are
available: the space-efficient Finisher can be added on without
taking up much room, while the large-capacity Finisher has
output trays that can hold up to 4,000 sheets. Saddle Stitch
Finishers also come in two types: one has an output tray capacity
of 1,000 sheets, while the other boasts a capacity of 4,000 sheets
and can handle A3W (12" x 18") paper. In addition to basic
sorting/stapling, both types of Saddle Stitch Finishers can
fold/staple documents of up to 15 sheets to make completed
booklets. Punch Modules, which punch holes in documents for
easy filing, are available for each finisher.
Super-Efcient Colour and B/W Output
The MX-5140N/4140N delivers a fast output of 51/41 cpm/ppm*
in B/W and in full colour. And the first copy comes out in just
4.1/4.7 seconds in B/W and 5.7/6.7
seconds in full colour to save valuable time
when performing multiple short-run jobs.
