A High-Performance Hub
for Busy Offices
Because speedy output, outstanding print quality, and
reliable data protection lie at the heart of fast, efficient
document management, Sharp’s MX-5001N/5000N
compact, full-colour MFP, with its polished design and
original, cutting-edge technologies, is the ideal light
production centre for busy offices.
The MX-5001N/5000N enhances workflow with its
integrated document management system and boosts
productivity with its short warm-up time, copy/print speeds
of up to 50 pages per minute in both colour and B/W, 1,200-
dpi printing resolution, and brilliant colour. And Sharp OSA
(Open Systems Architecture) 3.0 makes it possible for third-
party software developers to create customised applications
for office-specific control and convenience.
For unparalleled data protection, the MX-5001N/5000N
employs multiple layers of Sharp’s powerful, industry-leading
security solutions to safeguard confidential information
against leakage and unauthorised access.
New Design Brings Style and
Ease of Use
A new dark-coloured control panel gives the MX-5001N/
5000N a distinct design advantage and brings polished chic
to office settings. But this stylish new design does more than
just enhance décor; it also makes the MX-5001N/5000N a
particularly user-friendly solution. The new 8.5-inch, W-VGA,
touch-screen LCD control panel gives users a choice of six
screen colours and provides thumbnail display and previews
of data files as well as previews of copy/send/save jobs,
making even the MX-5001N/5000N’s most advanced
functions easy to navigate.

The MX-5001N/5000N’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.

The MX-5001N comes standard with a highly efficient 150-sheet
DSPF (duplex single pass feeder), which scans both pages of
two-sided documents up to A3 (11" x 17") in size in one pass.
Doing away with the reversing circuit minimises paper misfeeds
and vastly improves reliability. The MX-5000N is equipped with a
100-sheet RSPF (reversing single pass feeder).

Built-in Stackless Duplex Module
Print
The MX-5001N/5000N 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 DSPF/RSPF.
Network Tandem Function
Copy
Print
When two MX-5001N/5000Ns are connected to the same office
network, you can use both simultaneously to double copying/
printing output to up to 100 cpm/ppm. Large-volume jobs can be
completed with ease, enabling you to meet tight deadlines.
Copy
Polished Finishing
Print
The MX-5001N/5000N makes it easy to create professionallooking 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. The newly designed
Saddle Stitch Finisher option staples documents up to 50 pages
long and can fold and staple sets of documents up to 15 pages
long to make completed booklets. It also features a new bi-
folding function that folds individual pages, up to size A3, in
half—eliminating the tedious task of folding pages by hand. A
space-efficient Finisher is also available for jobs that require only
simple sorting and stapling, while another
option, a 4,000-sheet Finisher, speeds
through large projects to give you
complete control over deadlines. And, an
optional Punch Module allows you to
punch holes in documents for easy filing.

Sharp thoroughly revamped its imaging process for the
MX-5001N/5000N; now a high-performance processor, a new
developer, and the new Mycrostoner-HG (High Grade) combine
to provide breathtaking image quality. The smaller particle size of
Mycrostoner-HG and the developer allows for reduced graininess
and clear reproduction of fine lines and halftone colours.
True 1,200 x 1,200-dpi Printing

Easy, High-Quality Copying
Copy
Because the MX-5001N/5000N 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’s 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-5001N/5000N 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, multilevel error diffusion technology provides dramatically smoother
gradation in photos and subtle greyscale images.

Windmills of the Netherlands
For centuries, the Dutch used windmills
to mill corn into flour, 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

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.

the MX-5001N/5000N embeds copy prevention data onto a
document when it is first copied or printed. It will then detect this
data the next time someone tries to make a copy of the
document. Any unauthorised attempts to copy a Document
Controlled-document will simply be cancelled or result in the
output of a blank page.
Note: Requires optional Data Security Kit. May not work for certain types of
documents or paper.

Secure Network Access
The MX-5001N/5000N’s IP/MAC address filtering function
provides highly secure operation by restricting access to the
MX-5001N/5000N on your office network. Only PCs that have
either their IP address or MAC (media
access control) address registered are
Prevents data leak
allowed to use the MX-5001N/5000N.
Attempted access from an unknown
IP or MAC address will be denied,
preventing unauthorised use. The
The data generated for
each job is automatically
erased once that job
is finished
MX-5001N/5000N also supports the
IEEE 802.1X standard for port-based
network access control, which blocks
all access from unauthorised devices.
Secure Sockets Layer
SSL (secure sockets layer) enables the encryption of data
communications to prevent data leakage through the network
when printing via IPP, browsing secure Web pages (HTTPS), or
communicating via e-mail (SMTP and POP3) or FTP (FTPS).
User Authentication
The MX-5001N/5000N prevents unauthorised use by requiring
passwords for machine access. This safeguarded solution can
register up to 1,000 users in three access levels as Administrator,
User, or Guest and can designate to which function user
authentication applies. The MX-5001N/5000N can, for example,
be set to allow B/W copying by all users while restricting colour
copying to designated users. And
the MX-5001N/5000N works with
an external Active Directory
server to extend user authentication
to multiple MFPs and a greater
number of users.
User authentication
IPv6 and IPsec Support
The MX-5001N/5000N supports IPv6, the next-generation Internet
protocol. An obligatory part of IPv6 is IPsec (IP Security), a set of
protocols for securing Internet protocol (IP) communications. IPsec
encrypts and authenticates traffic between specified parties, giving
IPsec-compatible products an extremely high level of network
security.

• With a standby power consumption of less than 1W in nighttime fax reception mode, the MX-5001N/5000N leads the
industry in energy savings for colour MFPs.
EASY OPERATION
8.5-Inch Touch-Screen LCD
The MX-5001N/5000N’s logically designed control panel features a
wide, clear, W-VGA-resolution touch-screen LCD with easy-tofollow guidance. For example, when adjusting staple/sort finishing
or making pamphlets, the LCD displays step-by-step instructions to
guide you through the necessary procedures. Pushing the Home
button, even in the middle of an operation, takes you back to the
Start screen. And you can quickly access the most frequently used
functions and settings by programming them into My Menu.
Home screen Staple/sort finishing
Thumbnail Display and Previews
Making the search for files easier and more convenient than ever,
thumbnails and up-close previews of Document Filing data files, as
well as conventional file names, can be displayed on the MX5001N/5000N’s LCD control panel. And to help users decide which
documents to print out, the LCD can also display thumbnails and
previews of incoming faxes and Internet faxes. The MX-5001N/
5000N even prevents errors in copying, scanning, or saving
documents to its hard disk by showing previews of those jobs on
the LCD before actually executing them, making it easy to confirm
finishing options, scan settings, and other such items.
• Conforming to the Energy Star programme, an
international system identifying energy-efficient
products, the MX-5001N/5000N has two levels of
energy-saving modes to reduce or shut off
electricity after a period of inactivity. And to
further cut back on running costs, by pressing
the manual energy save key after a job is
finished, the MX-5001N/5000N immediately
enters pre-heat mode.
• The MX-5001N/5000N conforms to standards
set for the Nordic Swan European environmental label.
• In support of the RoHS directive, which restricts the use of
hazardous substances, Sharp has fully eliminated harmful lead
and chromium in all MX-5001N/5000N parts and materials.
Job Status Screen
Whether printing or copying, the control panel displays a list of all
jobs, showing you at a glance the jobs in progress and the position
of your job in the queue. And, with a few quick touches of the
LCD screen, the Priority Printing function lets you easily change
the job queue order or delete jobs that are no longer needed.
Sharp OSA (Open Systems Architecture)
The MX-5001N/5000N supports the Sharp OSA 3.0* development
platform. This innovative, third-generation technology allows users
to interact with critical business and network applications and/or
external account software right from the LCD control panel,
offering a new realm of control and convenience. And since Sharp
OSA 3.0 utilises industry-standard network protocols, such as XML
and SOAP, the MX-5001N/5000N can easily integrate with
document management systems, enterprise resource planning
software, workflow applications, and more.
* Requires optional MX-AMX2 and/or MX-AMX3.
