PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Sharp BP-50M45 – Advanced A3 Monochrome Multifunction System

The Sharp BP-50M45 is a high-performance monochrome multifunction printer built for modern business environments where speed, reliability, and scalability are essential. Combining printing, copying, scanning, and optional fax capabilities into a single desktop-class system, this A3 device supports a wide range of office workflows with robust functionality and professional-grade output.

Powerful Printing and Copying Productivity

Designed to keep pace with busy workgroups, the BP-50M45 delivers up to 45 pages per minute (ppm) in black-and-white on A4 media, with 21 ppm on A3 and 19 ppm on A3W formats. Its advanced laser engine ensures crisp text and clear graphics at 600 × 600 dpi resolution, with equivalent enhancements up to 9,600 × 600 dpi depending on mode. A rapid first-copy-out time of approximately 4.5 seconds reduces wait times, while continuous copying up to 9,999 copies per job supports high-volume tasks without interruption.

Flexible Paper Handling and Large Capacity

The BP-50M45 accommodates a broad spectrum of media sizes from A6R up to A3W (12″ × 18″) and supports paper weights from 55 to 300 g/m², enabling use with diverse document types and stock. Standard paper capacity begins at 650 sheets (550-sheet tray + 100-sheet bypass) and can be scaled up to an impressive 6,300 sheets with optional trays—minimizing refills and maximizing uptime for heavy workloads. Standard duplex printing further boosts productivity and helps reduce paper usage.

Advanced Scanning for Digital Workflows

Equipped with versatile scanning functionality, the BP-50M45 supports both push scanning from the control panel and pull scanning via a network application. Scan speeds reach up to 80 originals per minute (opm), and a broad suite of output formats — including TIFF, PDF (standard and searchable), JPEG, XPS, and Microsoft Office file types — enables seamless integration into digital workflows. Users can send scans to email, network folders, FTP servers, USB drives, or desktops, facilitating fast, efficient digitization across the business.

Intuitive Interface and Connectivity

Operating the BP-50M45 is straightforward thanks to a large 10.1-inch colour LCD touchscreen that supports smartphone-style navigation and live task previews. Connectivity includes standard USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet, and optional wireless LAN with modern security protocols like WPA3. The device supports multiple network printing protocols (LPR, IPP, SMB, WSD) and is compatible with both Windows and macOS environments. Mobile printing options such as AirPrint, NFC, and QR-based workflows are available with additional modules.

Smart Security and Expandability

Security is integral to the BP-50M45, with built-in protections that safeguard the system and data. Features such as BIOS-based security, self-recovery firmware, and an integrated Trusted Platform Module help protect sensitive documents and network operations. Optional anti-malware software adds an additional layer of defense. Expandable features, including advanced cloud connectivity and document management tools, make this system adaptable as business needs evolve.
