Introduction
This media guide is designed to assist you in selecting the right paper types for your device to ensure you
achieve the best possible print quality and finish to your documents.
In 2012, Sharp launched the following products into its Light Production range:
Colour
MX-6240N
MX-7040N
Black-and-White
MX-M904
MX-M1054
MX-M1204
And in Autumn 2013, Sharp also launched the following Colour Production devices which further expand
Sharp’s reach into the Colour Production market.
MX-6500N
MX-7500N
All of these Production class MFPs are aimed at Large Departments, Corporate Reprographics Departments
(CRDs), Print Rooms, Copy Shops and Commercial Printers looking to support larger Digital and Offset print
devices with an affordable Light Production offering.
It is in these environments / target markets that users often require much more versatile paper handling when
compared to more basic Office MFPs. The reason for this is that these devices are often specifically linked to a
specific type of output that is being performed on a regular basis and/or linked to a particular customer who
has certain requirements for a media type(s) on a regular basis. The requirement for special media in the
Production arena is, therefore, a high priority for this class of device.
What this document aims to do is to list all of the tested and untested media that are recommended by Sharp
and also list any particular requirements / recommendations for the use of each media type.
DISCLAIMER
Although every possible effort has been made by Sharp Electronics to rigorously test a wide variety of media
types, it is virtually impossible to thoroughly test every single media type available on the worldwide market
today. Therefore, some media recommendations have been made purely on the basis of media type /
description from the manufacturer of that media.
This document will differentiate between tested and untested media types but with all media listed in this
document it is important to remember that no specific media type can be 100% guaranteed even though (in
some cases) it has been tested by Sharp Electronics. This is mainly due to the number of variables involved
such as media care/handling, regular device maintenance, ambient humidity / temperature, use of Sharp
Genuine consumables / spare parts etc, etc… Therefore, Sharp Electronics will not be held responsible nor be
liable to take action to correct situations or conditions resulting from any media that is underperforming against
a customers’ expectations.
