Sharp Electronics Group has released their Slim Sized Series colour document systems.

Their size has been made possible through a range of technologies including a high performance lens, downsized scanning unit, side-by-side toner cartridges and a reduction in overall parts. The two new models, the MX-C250 and MXC300W systems, are capable of output speeds of up to 30 ppm and offer print, copy, scan and fax features. The compact sizes of these models make them easy to fit into tight workspaces without sacrificing the advanced technology that provides professional quality output. The MX-C300W also offers a wide array of standard wireless features that will help streamline business. Users can easily scan or print from up to five wireless devices such as a PC, laptop, smartphone, or tablet simultaneously. With Sharpdesk Mobile or standard wireless communication protocols, users can easily communicate with the MX-C300W without a wired connection.
