​The Sharp MX Series printers have a wonderful interface that can be customized to your office workflow, down to the individual user. The buttons on the screen can be as complex or watered down as you’d like. We are often asked how to create custom programs on the Sharp copiers for a specific set of functions. It’s quite simple once you know how to do it. One-touch keys can save you a lot of time if you’re constantly pressing several buttons to perform your job at the copier’s touch screen.
