Windmills of the Netherlands

For centuries, the Dutch used windmills

to mill corn into our, 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.

PRODUCTIVE SUPERB PRINT QUALITY

VERSATILE

Super-Efficient Colour and B/W Output

The tandem printing engine with four in-line drums helps the

MX-2301N deliver a fast output of 23 cpm/ppm* in full colour

and in B/W. The first copy comes out in just 8.9 seconds in full

colour and 6.0 seconds in B/W. What’s more, its short, straight

paper path minimises misfeeds to save you

paper and toner costs.

* A4, long-edge feeding

Productive Collated Output from Memory

The MX-2301N’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-2301N 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 used together with the standard-equipped

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-2301N easily handles large-volume copy jobs exceeding

the RSPF’s 100-sheet*

capacity. For example, a 270-sheet original

can be scanned as batches of 100 + 100 + 70 sheets and

automatically stored on the MX-2301N’s hard disk*

. Users can

then print the entire document in a single run.

*1: A4, 80 g/m

*2: The number of pages that can be stored for the Job Build function

depends on the machine’s HDD capacity and other conditions.

Automated Finishing

The MX-2301N makes it easy to create professional-looking

booklets. The chapter divide function lets you print out all

chapters starting on either odd- or even-numbered pages to give

documents a consistent, polished look. A space-efficient Finisher

is available for jobs that require sorting and stapling. Plus, an

optional Punch Module allows you to punch holes in documents

for easy filing.

Large Paper Capacity

For high-volume work, the MX-2301N can accommodate an

optional stand with 2 x 500-sheet paper drawers for a total

capacity of 2,100 sheets. 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.

Network Tandem Function

When two MX-2301Ns are connected to the same office network,

you can use both simultaneously to double copying/printing

output to up to 46 cpm/ppm. Large-volume jobs can be

completed with ease, enabling you to meet tight deadlines.

NETWORK-READY

USB Memory Direct Print

One of the two USB ports on the MX-2301N is located at the front

of the MFD 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.

Versatile Paper Handling

The MX-2301N accommodates a wide range of paper sizes, from

A5R to A3 wide. When using an optional finisher or exit tray, you

can do A3 full-bleed printing onto A3-wide paper, without loss

of image area. Thanks to its tandem printing method, the

MX-2301N can handle heavy paper stock up to 256 g/m

overhead transparencies, and other types of paper, further

expanding the range of printing applications.

Image Editing Functions

The MX-2301N includes colourful editing functions made possible

by digital technology.

sMulti-Page Enlargement divides an image onto separate

sheets for making posters up to A0 x 2 in size.

sImage Repeat places multiple copies of an image onto a single

sheet.

sMirror Image makes a reverse image of the original.

sXY Zoom adjusts the horizontal and vertical ratios independently.

sB/W Reverse reverses the black and white of an image.

Please see specifications for a list of available convenient functions.

Various Copy/Print Applications

Copy & Print

sTab Copy/Print can copy or print directly onto tabs on

document separators and insert them into assigned positions.

sMulti-Shot copying and N-up printing

sPamphlet Style copying/printing

sCover/transparency insertion

sPDF/TIFF/JPEG Direct Print prints PDF, TIFF, or JPEG files

without using the printer driver or opening applications.

Note: Direct PDF printing requires optional MX-PKX1. Direct printing may not

support all PDF, TIFF, and JPEG formats.

sCarbon Copy Print mode automatically outputs multiple

printouts of the same data on plain and/or coloured paper;

convenient for invoices and purchase orders.

sForm Overlay can store office document formatting such as

letterheads and overlay contents in colour, eliminating the

need for pre-printed paper.

sBarcode font compatibility

(with optional AR-PF1 Barcode Font Kit)

Copy

sBook Copy is convenient for compiling copies of a book or

bound originals into pamphlet format.

sCard Shot enables one-touch copying of both sides of a card

(credit cards, ID cards, etc.) onto a single page.

sColour Stamp labels your copies with page

numbers, the date or text such as “Urgent”

in up to four different colours.

s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-2301N; now a high-performance processor, a new developer,

and the newly developed high grade toner combine to provide

breathtaking image quality. The smaller particle size of the toner

and the developer allows for reduced graininess and clear

reproduction of fine lines and halftone colours.

Easy, High-Quality Copying

The MX-2301N features third-generation Sharp Auto Colour

Mode, anyone—with just a push of the start button—can easily

and automatically make copies that are faithful to the original.

Here is how it works. 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. This is what

allows the MX-2301N to print out maps with crisp, clear text

and to automatically remove the background colour on

newspaper and magazine copies for clearer output. When

copying in B/W, multi-level error diffusion technology provides

dramatically smoother gradation in photos and subtle greyscale

images.
