Sharp Digital Copier MX B200

The Sharp MX-B200 is a compact, desktop-sized A4 monochrome multifunctional printer designed for personal use or small office environments. It delivers professional-grade copying, printing, and scanning in a space-saving design.

Manufacturer Mindset: "The Personal Powerhouse"

Sharp engineered the MX-B200 with a focus on simplicity and efficiency for users who don't need the bulk of a full-sized A3 copier but require the reliability of a business machine. Sharp’s mindset was to provide a "plug-and-play" experience that fits easily on a desk while still offering the industrial build quality that the brand is known for. It is designed to be an affordable "first copier" for small businesses or a dedicated unit for executive offices.

Technical Specifications & Economic Impact

1. 20 Pages Per Minute (PPM): Provides a steady output for daily administrative tasks, ensuring you don't have to wait long for short-to-medium print runs.
2. Full-Colour Scanning: Despite printing in black and white to keep toner costs extremely low, it allows for high-quality digital archiving of color documents.
3. Large Paper Capacity: Holds up to 300 sheets (250-sheet tray + 50-sheet bypass), which is significant for a machine of its size, reducing the need for constant refills.
4. ID Card Copying: Features a dedicated function to easily copy both sides of an ID card onto a single page—perfect for HR and legal desks.
5. Energy Efficient: Its compact size and quick warm-up time help manage Band A electricity costs, drawing minimal power during standby.

Best Use Case: The Small Office Desktop

The MX-B200 is the ideal choice for:

1. Private Executive Offices: Where space is limited but high-quality monochrome printing and scanning are required.
2. Front Desk/Reception: For quick ID card scanning and document copying in medical or retail environments.
3. Home Offices: Providing a more durable and cost-effective alternative to standard inkjet or small consumer laser printers.

How it Fares Against Larger Sharp Models

The MX-B200 is the compact entry point for the MX series.

Strategic Recommendation:

The MX-B200 is your best choice if desk space is your primary concern. If you need to print on larger A3 paper for spreadsheets or posters, you should move up to the Sharp AR-6023.
