A3 Colour Network Scanning
The MX-5141N/4141N works as a full-colour network scanner
and supports as standard TIFF, PDF, PDF/A, encrypted PDF, compact
PDF, JPEG, and XPS file formats. Scanned documents can be
converted into compact PDF files to enable fast, high-volume
transmission and save storage space. Enhanced scan performance
improves the legibility of extremely fine text and allows vivid colour
reproduction in scanned documents. Auto Colour Selection
chooses the right mode for scanning originals containing both
colour and B/W pages (see page 4). Five levels of sharpness and
contrast control enable finely tuned adjustments for optimal image
quality.
Multiple Distribution of Scanned Files
With just a few taps on the LCD touchscreen, you can choose
different ways to distribute your scanned documents. Scan to
E-mail sends documents as an e-mail attachment. Scan to FTP
Server scans documents directly to an FTP server for storage. Scan
to Desktop sends scanned documents directly to your PC desktop.
Scan to Network Folder (SMB) sends files to a shared folder on
a networked Windows-based PC. Scan to External Memory
Device scans documents directly to USB memory devices. Scan to
Fax enables conventional faxing or Internet faxing.
PC-Fax/PC-Internet Fax
Directly send a document created on your PC to a recipient’s fax
machine via a phone line or the Internet without printing to paper.
Save time and paper costs while retaining original document quality.
Note: PC-Internet Fax requires optional MX-FWX1; PC-Fax requires MX-FX11.
Internet Fax
Economically send and receive faxes to and from other T-37-
compliant Internet fax machines via the Internet. Thanks to Direct
SMTP support, outgoing Internet faxes do not go through your
mail server, making transmission faster and cheaper.
Note: Requires optional MX-FWX1.
Paperless Faxing with Inbound Routing
Paperless faxing with inbound routing lets you check incoming
faxes via e-mail before printing them out. It can also forward
incoming faxes to destinations—another fax/Internet fax machine,
an FTP server, a network folder (SMB), or a PC desktop—specified
for each sender. When fax data is transferred by file, the Inbound
Routing function automatically attaches the fax sender’s name (as
registered in the MFD’s address book) to the file, so recipients will
know who sent the fax.
Note: PC-Internet Fax requires optional MX-FWX1; PC-Fax requires MX-FX11.
Fax Data Storage on MFD Hard Disk
The MX-5141N/4141N automatically stores data from incoming
and Internet faxes on its hard disk for easy confirmation and
printing from a PC.
Note: PC-Internet Fax requires optional MX-FWX1; PC-Fax requires MX-FX11.
Home Directory
The Home Directory function with user authentication allows users
to designate a network folder as their own default scan
destination, enabling easy data transfer. In addition to simplifying
the scanning process, this handy function lets users scan and send
large files that exceed the capacity of mail servers. It’s so simple:
after a user has logged on via user authentication and gone to the
Image Send screen, the Home Directory function automatically
selects the scan-destination folder.
Improved Address Book
With the MX-5141N/4141N’s improved address book format, up to
seven destinations, including e-mail addresses, fax numbers, and
FTP addresses, can be displayed under each registered entry. For
enhanced security, when registering an entry, you can select
whether the information will be open to all MFD users or limited to
only designated users or groups. Since only the viewable addresses
for each logged-in user are displayed, the list of addresses is
narrowed down, making address searches easier.
Note: Contact a Sharp customer representative for details on activating this
function.
One Scan/Multi Format
This function allows you to specify image resolution or colour for
each mode of broadcasting employed. For example, when sending
the same image data to both a fax and an e-mail destination, you
can send a B/W version via fax and a full-colour version via e-mail.
Drop Out Colour
This function removes chromatic colour from a scanned image,
reducing the data size for compact storage and enhancing the
legibility of B/W text to improve the text recognition rate before OCR.
Black Letter Emphasis
When text-heavy documents are scanned, this function improves
the legibility of B/W text while keeping the file size down. Text is
scanned at high resolution while the rest of the document,
including photos and illustrations, is scanned at a lower resolution.

LDAP Support
Built-in LDAP (lightweight directory access protocol) support
eliminates the need to enter or register full addresses. When you
enter the first few letters of the recipient’s name, the MX-5141N/
4141N displays a list of possible matches from your company’s
LDAP server. Selected addresses can be stored to the MX-5141N/
4141N’s address book.
