The Sharp BP-22C25 is an entry-level A3 colour MFP that supports the small office environment. Ben Lake, Senior Product Manager for MFP and Printer Products, Sharp Europe, shares an overview of how the new print solution can enhance productivity by being the compact, smart, and reliable office solution for SMEs.
Whether you need to print, copy or scan documents, the Sharp BP-22C25 supports the small office environment with ease. It is simple to use, simple to manage, and lets users complete everyday tasks quickly. Its unique cubic frame and small footprint is one of the smallest available for A3 colour devices on the market, meaning it can fit almost anywhere, and its grey colour scheme will enhance the look of any workspace.
The Sharp BP-22C25 stands out as an exceptional print solution for businesses of all sizes, and we feel it embodies three essential qualities: compact design, smart features, and reliable performance. Let's explore how this multifunctional system can transform your office workflow.
Sharp BP-22C25: Compact size with maximum functionality
The modern office environment often faces space constraints, making the Sharp BP-22C25's compact design particularly valuable. Measuring just 560 ? 581 ? 653 mm, its space-saving design means you can place it next to a desk, behind a counter, or in any limited space without disrupting the overall office layout.
The system's compact design extends to its user interface as well. The 7-inch colour LCD touchscreen provides an intuitive control centre that can be tilted at various angles for comfortable viewing and operation. Even the paper drawers feature easy grip handles that can be accessed from both top and bottom, reflecting a universal design philosophy that maximises usability while maintaining the compact form factor.
Despite its modest footprint, the BP-22C25 doesn't compromise on paper capacity. The standard configuration includes a 250-sheet tray and a 100-sheet multi-bypass tray. For offices with higher volume requirements, optional trays are available to expand the total capacity to an impressive 1,850 sheets. This combination of compact design and ample paper capacity ensures that you don't need to sacrifice functionality for space efficiency.
Sharp BP-22C25: Smart features for enhanced productivity
The BP-22C25 incorporates a range of smart features designed to streamline workflows and boost productivity. Mobile devices installed with the Sharpdesk Mobile app can connect directly to the MFP for printing or downloading scanned data. Optional wireless connectivity supports Wi-Fi Direct and Wi-Fi Protected Setup, enabling flexible placement and easy access from mobile devices. The system's support for AirPrint and the Sharp Print Service Plugin further enhances its versatility.
That’s not all, as the USB Drive Direct Printing/Scanning function enables users to simply insert a USB drive, and a command screen automatically appears on the LCD, allowing immediate access to print files or scan documents directly to the drive.
The automated document handling features highlight the Sharp BP-22C25's intelligent design. For example, the Reversing Single Pass Feeder (RSPF) efficiently processes both one- and two-sided originals in batches of up to 100 sheets. While scanning speeds reaching 31 prints per minute for both colour and black-and-white documents, the system handles large jobs with remarkable efficiency.
Even the status indicator demonstrates smart design principles, as an information LED positioned next to the control panel lights up in blue or orange, allowing users to monitor the system's status from a distance.
Sharp BP-22C25: Reliable performance and strong security
Security features are essential components of reliability in today's data-conscious environment. The Sharp BP-22C25 incorporates robust security measures including data encryption/erasure, TLS 1.3 support, and user authentication via IC cards as an optional extra. These features ensure that sensitive information remains protected, providing peace of mind for businesses handling confidential documents.
Reliability is paramount in office equipment, and the Sharp BP-22C25 delivers consistent performance. With print speeds of up to 25 pages per minute for A4 documents and 14 pages per minute for A3 documents, it can handle high-volume print jobs with ease.
Furthermore, the system's paper handling capabilities contribute to its reliability by accommodating a wide range of paper weights, enabling versatile document production on a range of paper types. The generous paper capacity options reduce the frequency of paper replenishment, allowing for uninterrupted operation during busy periods.
Summing up the Sharp BP-22C25
The Sharp BP-22C25 A3 colour MFP highlights how compact design, smart features, and reliable performance can coexist in a single office solution. Its space-efficient design makes it suitable for environments where space is at a premium, while its intelligent features and consistent performance ensure that productivity is never compromised.
