Electronic Sorting and Offset Stacking
Speedy Copying and Quick First Copy Time
The MX-M310/M260 has a quick first copy time of 4.5/4.8 seconds to save valuable time when performing multiple short­run jobs. And with a continuous copy rate of up to 31/26 cpm*, you can do more copy jobs in less time.
* A4 (8 1/2" x 11") size, long-edge feeding
Built-in Stackless Duplex Module
The MX-M310/M260 can automatically produce duplex copies from one- or two-sided originals. This reduces paper costs and helps save filing space. Duplex copying is even more productive when used together with the optional RSPF (reversing single pass feeder), which efficiently feeds in up to 100 pages of either one- or two-sided originals.
Electronic Sorting and Offset Stacking
The MX-M310/M260’s Scan Once/Print Many (SOPM) function does one scan of multiple-page documents and stores them in memory for making up to 999 copies of each page. The Electronic Sorting function then automatically collates multiple sets of copies in page order without the aid of a sorter. The MX-M310/ M260 also stacks each set slightly shifted apart from the previous (offset stacking) for easy retrieval. All this adds up to speedy copying that boosts productivity even for large-volume documents.
Space-Efficient Inner Finisher
Creating professional-looking booklets has never been easier, thanks to an optional space-efficient Finisher that lets the MX­M310/M260 handle document sorting and stapling jobs with automated ease.
Job Build for Large-Volume Scanning
With optional extra memory installed, the MX-M310/M260 easily handles copy jobs exceeding the RSPF’s 100-sheet capacity*

are automatically stored in memory. Users can then print the entire document in a single run.
*1: A4 (8 1/2" x 11") size *2: Measured using Sharp’s standard chart (A4 with 6% coverage). The actual storage limit depends on the amount of memory installed.
Large Paper Capacity
The MX-M310/M260 comes standard with 1,100-sheet paper capacity: two 500-sheet drawers and a 100­sheet multi-bypass feeder. For large­volume jobs and a wider selection of available paper sizes, the MX­M310/M260 can accommodate two types of extra paper drawers for a total paper capacity of up to 2,100 sheets. When a tray runs out of paper, the Auto Tray Switching function automatically switches to another paper tray filled with the same size paper.
Versatile Editing Functions
The MX-M310/M260 is standard equipped with various image editing functions that make copying more convenient.
Card Shot
This function enables one-touch copying of both sides of a card (credit cards, ID cards, etc.) onto a single page.
High-Quality Imaging
600-dpi resolution and 256-level greyscale ensure detailed reproduction. Digital Automatic Exposure Control provides optimum exposure level, and Text/Photo mode automatically adjusts the contrast for originals containing both text and photos.
Other Key Features
• 25% to 400% zoom with preset copy ratios (50% to 200% via

• N-up, Fit-to-Page, Watermarks
• USB 2.0 port
High-Quality Printing with Sharp Technology
The MX-M310/M260 is a high-performance printer incorporating Sharp Printer Language with Compression (SPLC) technology. SPLC effectively reduces the data size of print jobs, speeding up the data transfer time and printing process while improving overall throughput. Also, the RIP Once/Print Many function saves print data in the MX-M310/M260’s internal memory and transfers it to output at a quick rate of 31/26 ppm in 600-dpi resolution. The MX-M310/M260’s 600-dpi printing resolution can be enhanced to 1,200 dpi (with smoothing) for ultra-detailed reproduction.
PCL6 and PostScript 3 Emulation
When equipped with the optional MX-PB12 Printer Expansion Kit, the MX-M310/M260 supports PCL5e and PCL6 printer languages. For compatibility with more fonts and better graphics handling, PostScript 3 is available with the MX-PK10 PS3 Expansion Kit.

1
/2" x 11" long-edge feeding) at standard resolution
Quick On-Line Transmission
The MX-M310/M260 starts dialling and transmitting a multi-page document as soon as the first page is scanned into memory. This greatly reduces the overall time it takes to send the document.
Duplex Transmission and Reception
With the optional RSPF, the MX-M310/M260 scans both pages of two-sided documents and sorts them in memory. The pages are then transmitted in the proper order. Thanks to the standard duplex module, the MX-M310/M260 can also print incoming faxes onto both sides of paper, thus saving you paper costs.
500-Number Auto Dialling
Register up to 500 numbers into the customisable directory of one-touch auto-dial keys, listed in alphabetical order for easy searches of specific numbers.
F-Code Communication
Conforming to the ITU-T F-Code (sub-address and passcode) standard, the MX-M310/M260 is capable of F-Code confidential communication, F-Code relay request transmission, and F-Code memory polling with other fax machines regardless of the manufacturer or model.
Super Fine Mode
You can set the MX-M310/M260 to this ultra-high resolution to give the recipient crisp, clear reproduction of detailed images and fine text.

Industry-Leading Multi-Layered Security
With multiple levels of network and data security to cover a wide range of security needs, Sharp’s industry-leading security solutions bring today’s businesses increased confidence and peace of mind. The MX-M310/M260 safeguards sensitive data with powerful, enhanced security functions that eliminate the worry of unauthorised use and guarantee greater protection for your confidential information.
Data Security Kit
Digital copier/printers or multifunction products can retain hundreds of pages of confidential information from previous jobs on their internal memory. To safeguard this information from unauthorised access, the optional Data Security
Kit automatically encrypts and erases the data after
each job is complete.
Print Hold and Confidential Print
To keep others from seeing confidential documents as they are being printed out, the MX-M310/M260’s Print Hold function stores print data in its memory and withholds output until the user executes a print command from the control panel. For added security, the Confidential Print function requires the user to enter in a PIN (personal identification number) at the machine before printing can begin.
Auditing Mode
An auditing mode requires users to enter a five-digit PIN code to gain access to the control panel. This feature also restricts users from printing to the MX-M310/M260.
IP/MAC Address Filtering
The MX-M310/M260’s network interface card* provides highly
secure operation by restricting access to the MX-M310/M260 on your office network. Only PCs that have either their IP address or MAC (media access control) address registered are allowed to use the MX-M310/M260. Attempted access from an unknown IP or MAC address will be denied, preventing unauthorised use.
* Requires optional MX-PB12
User Authentication for Network Scanning
To prevent unauthorised use of network scanning, the MX-M310/ M260 supports user authentication, which requires users to log in to the machine before performing any network scanning operations.
Secure Sockets Layer
SSL (secure sockets layer) enables the encryption of data communications to prevent data leakage through the network when printing via IPP or browsing secure Web pages (HTTPS).
IPv6 and IPsec Support
The MX-M310/M260 supports the IPv6 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 IPsec­compatible products an extremely high level of network security.
