Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Sharp MX-C407P is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You're a small office or workgroup of 5-15 people that needs occasional in-house color at 40 ppm without paying for a glass and an ADF.
  • You print 800-2,500 pages a month — proposals, marketing handouts, internal reports — and want true 1,200 x 1,200 dpi color.
  • You print Word, Excel, or PowerPoint files directly from a USB stick, file server, or mobile device — supported via FTP, SMB, web, email, and front USB.
  • You want a real touchscreen on a print-only device — 4.3-inch color touchscreen with print preview is standard.
  • You need a desktop footprint — 17.4 x 16.6 x 12.1 inches at 46 lb fits on a desk return.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print up to 4,000 pages a month — engine handles it but the 251-sheet base capacity (250 drawer + 1 bypass) means constant refills. Add the MX-CS18 550-sheet drawer or the MX-CS20 dual to push to 1,451 sheets max.
  • You need wireless — Wi-Fi is optional (802.11 b/g/n module bolts on); not standard.
  • You sometimes print envelopes — bypass tray takes them, but it's a 1-sheet bypass on this model. The drawer holds up to 85 envelopes if you load it.
  • You're choosing between this and the MX-C507P/C607P — same family, just slower (40 vs 50 vs 60 ppm) and lower base capacity. Pick by monthly volume.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need scan, copy, or fax — print-only despite the manifest sometimes listing it as multifunction. Get the MX-C407F MFP version.
  • You need 11x17 (ledger) — max output is 8.5 x 14 (legal).
  • You need wireless out of the box — Wi-Fi is optional; budget the module.
  • You print over 4,000 pages a month — capacity tops out at 1,451 sheets and the engine economics get strained. Move up to the MX-C507P or MX-C607P.
  • You need a multi-sheet bypass — this is a 1-sheet bypass. The C507P/C607P have 100-sheet bypass trays.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Sharp MX-C407P is a 40-ppm desktop color laser printer for small offices and workgroups of 5-15 people that need in-house color print at true 1,200 x 1,200 dpi without paying for MFP scan/copy hardware. It runs PCL 6 and PostScript 3, prints letter and legal (no 11x17), and pulls from a 250-sheet drawer plus a single-sheet bypass standard (251 sheets total), expandable to 1,451 sheets via the optional MX-CS18 550-sheet or MX-CS20 650-sheet dual feed unit. First print is 7.0 seconds in color, 9.0 seconds in mono. The 4.3-inch color touchscreen handles print preview and direct print of BMP, DCX, DOC/DOCX, GIF, JPEG, PCX, PDF, PNG, PPT/PPTX, TIFF, XLS/XLSX, and XPS via FTP, SMB, web page, email, and the front USB host port. Auto duplex is standard. Wired interface is Gigabit Ethernet plus dual USB 2.0 host ports; 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi is optional. Memory is 1 GB standard, 3 GB max. AirPrint and Android print framework are standard. Footprint is 17.4 x 16.6 x 12.1 inches at 46 lb. Blue Angel certified. Color toners are MX-C35TC/M/Y, black is MX-C35TB. The thing buyers regret: the 1-sheet bypass. If you print envelopes regularly, look at the C507P or C607P for the 100-sheet bypass. Best for offices that print mostly mono with occasional color and want a quick desktop unit.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

What customers actually say

The 5-star consensus: "it just works"

Small sample size, high signal. The 4 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging Sharp machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • ★ "We use this in our office for color printing and it handles our daily volume without issues. The MFP functions work well and the interface is straightforward enough that staff doesn't need constant training."
  • ★ "Good machine overall but the initial setup took longer than expected. Once it was configured the print quality on documents has been solid and copying is reliable."
  • ★ "Running this for about two years in a small design studio. Color accuracy is consistent and the speed keeps up with our workflow. Maintenance has been minimal."
  • ★ "Works well for document copying and printing in our medical clinic. The duplex feature is handy for reducing paper waste. Wish the scan resolution options were easier to find in the menu."
