Market Analysis The A4 Colour Printer Market Due to the economic crisis, in 2009 the colour printer market decreased to 1,329,711 units compared to 2008 (80.7% vs LY). This was mainly in the Col 1 and Col 2, (under 19 ppm) colour printer category. (Col 1: 78.7% vs LY, Col 2: 32.4% vs LY) However, if we look at the over 20 ppm colour printer category, even in the current economic situation, it is still increasing, 102.3% vs LY in Col 3 (20 –...
DELL Ot hers We can see our main competitors in the 30-39 ppm printer category in which the new Sharp printer MX-C380P is categorised. In this category HP also dominates the market with their Colour LaserJet CP 3525 series, around 50% share, and also with the Colour LaserJet 4700, around 9% share.
In summary, although this is not a new market, it is still an increasing market and more importantly it is a new market for Sharp to enter with the 38 ppm MX-C380P printer. Sharp now has a larger opportunity for total sales, offering not just A3 MFP but an A4 colour printer, in addition, to their range.

Modern Design With its smart grey and black highlighting and ‘grained’ texture, the MX-C380P has been designed to fit into the most modern and stylish of offices. Not only that, but since the latest MFPs and Printers from Sharp boast the same stylish exterior, using both machines in a mixed deployment does not mean they will look out of place.
Productivity Not only is the MX-C380P incredibly easy to use, it is also very efficient – helping you to achieve the best productivity possible. • Fast output speed The MX-C380P has a maximum print speed of 38 ppm in both colour and monochrome.

• USB Interface An easy to access USB port allows users to print important documents directly from their USB memory. Compatible file formats include: Encrypted PDF XPS (with MX-PUX1 + MX-SMX3 installed) JPEG TIFF Rear side and front side of printer Note: The port is exclusive so users can only use one USB port at a time.
The more dots an MFP/printer can lay down per inch (DPI), the more defined & refined the resulting image will be. The more refined the image, the more impressive the final document will look. The MX-C380P can print in true 1,200 x 1,200 dpi. Images are clearer and the contents easier and clearer to view. 600 x 600 dpi 1,200 x 1,200 dpi But it’s not only photos and images that benefit from higher resolution printing.

High Grade Toner The toner particles used in the MX-C380P have been refined compared to that of the past MX series such as MX-2300/2700. They are smaller, more uniform in terms of size & shape and can be distributed more evenly on the paper.
[SYSTEM SETTINGS] key CRU (Customer Replaceable Units) Concept Same as MX-C381/C311/C380/C310, MX-C380P adopts the CRU concept. Usually, in order to service the machine or do anything more than change toner cartridges, a certain amount of technical knowledge is required. By making it quick and as easy as possible to maintain the machine, cost are reduced (in terms of man-hours), and...

The control panel for most MFPs/Printers is fixed, making it difficult for some people to use. To combat this, Sharp has developed the Remote Front Panel which shows the full operation panel on a PC as is on the Printer, making it easy to control remotely. Through Remote Front Panel, service helpdesk or disabled users can connect with the Printer.
