Sharp Digital Copier Machine MX-B200

The Sharp MX-B200 Digital Copier is a compact, space-saving A4 monochrome multifunctional system designed specifically for small offices and individual workstations. Unlike the larger A3 models, this machine is built for personal productivity, fitting easily into tight desk spaces while delivering professional-grade results.

Manufacturer Mindset: "Big Performance, Small Footprint"

Sharp engineered the MX-B200 with a focus on simplicity and space optimization. In many Nigerian office environments where space is at a premium, having a bulky copier is impractical. Sharp’s goal was to strip away the physical bulk of a standard copier while retaining essential features like high-speed scanning and digital sorting. The mindset here is "efficiency within reach"—putting a reliable workhorse directly on a user’s desk to eliminate trips to a central copy room.

Technical Specifications & Economic Impact

1. 20 Pages Per Minute (PPM): Provides quick monochrome output, ensuring that small document tasks are completed without delay.
2. Full-Colour Scanning: Despite printing in black and white to save on toner costs, it features a 600 x 600 dpi color scanner for high-quality digital archiving.
3. Electronic Sorting: Automatically collates multiple sets of copies without the need for a bulky external finisher, maintaining its compact cubic profile.
4. Flexible Paper Handling: Features a 250-sheet tray and a 50-sheet bypass tray, allowing it to handle different paper types (like letterheads or envelopes) easily.
5. Low Energy Consumption: Its small engine makes it one of the most inverter-friendly copiers on the market, perfect for avoiding heavy drains on your Band A power supply.

Best Use Case: The Desk-Side Assistant

The Sharp MX-B200 is the best choice for:

1. Small Business Owners: Who need a dedicated, reliable machine for daily invoicing and document scanning.
2. Executive Offices: For individuals who handle sensitive documents and prefer a private, desk-side copier rather than a shared network machine.
3. Remote/Home Offices: Its compact design and quiet operation make it ideal for a residential workspace.

How it Fares with Other Sharp Copiers on Kara

The MX-B200 is the most specialized "small-format" option compared to the standard A3 office models.

Strategic Recommendation:

The MX-B200 is the ultimate choice if space and budget are your primary constraints and you do not require A3 (large-format) printing. If you need to print larger documents or spreadsheets, you should step up to the Sharp AR-6020D.
