Where to buy

Meet the BP-71 Advanced Colour Range

Meet the Sharp BP-71 Advanced Series – the next generation of multifunction printers designed to power productivity in today’s hybrid workplaces.

Fast, secure, and packed with smart features, the BP-71 Series delivers seamless printing, scanning, copying, and collaboration from anywhere. With cloud integration, enhanced security, and intuitive controls, it’s the perfect all-in-one solution for businesses that demand performance without compromise.  

Smart

Work more efficiently with smart scanning, remote firmware updates and a unified cloud connection. 

Connected

Collaborate seamlessly with your colleagues using Microsoft teams, Air Print and Sharp Print Service.

Secure

Secure your document workflows with a Sharp MFP that is built to combat cyber threats.

Unified Cloud Connection (option)

From the MFP’s control panel, you can upload to or print from various cloud-based services. Apps for these services can be installed on the MFP
via Sharp’s Application Portal, and update alerts ensure that you’re always using the latest versions. Single sign-on gives you easy access to your chosen cloud services—no need to re-enter credentials each time you reconnect to the same service. The MFP also supports Microsoft Entra ID, a secure cloud-based service for managing identities and controlling device
access. Token-based authentication gives you safe and easy access to any Microsoft service with a single login.

High-performance DSPF

The DSPF (duplex single pass feeder) scans both pages of two-sided documents in one pass—in batches of up to 300 sheets. With scanning speeds of up to 300 opm* (two-sided), the MFP is quick to finish even large jobs. The DSPF stops automatically when sheets are not fed in straight. And with the right option, it can also stop when two or more sheets are fed at once. A dedicated business card feeder on the DSPF scans batches of up to 150 cards.

Solid Security

The MFP has multiple levels of security to keep the device—and your precious data—secure. When booting up, the MFP checks for any anomalies in the BIOS firmware. If it finds a problem, it aborts the startup and launches an automatic BIOS recovery. If there are other firmware related issues, the MFP will attempt recovery to protect the system.

10.1 inch Full-Flat Touchscreen 

With a variety of functions accessible via simple, intuitive icons, MFP operation is smooth and easy. The control panel shows the state of your MFP, displaying current operation and notifications for things like paper, toner, and maintenance.

Link Mobile Devices

Mobile devices installed with the Sharpdesk Mobile application can connect directly to the MFP for printing or downloading scanned data. The MFP also supports AirPrint (option) and the Sharp Print Service Plugin (option). It’s a smoother way to get the job done.

Smart Scanning

Simply tap the Auto Set button and the MFP will automatically determine the optimal resolution, gradation, and compression rate for your scan jobs.
It also automatically reorients pages right side up (option) and corrects any skewed sheets.

My Folder Print

With the My Folder Print feature, print jobs are saved on the MFP in a personal folder that’s like a private mailbox. A folder is created automatically based on information from the PC that sent the print job.
Before printing out a document, you can preview print data at the MFP’s control panel and avoid printing errors or mix-ups.

Eco Friendly Design

Sharp has applied its advanced eco technologies across all areas of the MFP. Designed for energy efficiency, the MFP boasts an impressively low
ENERGY STAR® TEC value. The MFP’s main body is made from approximately 50% recycled plastic, and its packaging uses recyclable paper-based materials instead of polystyrene foam.

High Productivity

The MFP delivers a fast output of 36 ppm. And if toner runs out during a print job, the MFP continues printing your documents while you change the toner cartridge. Your productivity won’t miss a beat.

Online Firmware Updates

The MFP’s firmware can be automatically updated—without the need for service operation—via a firmware update service. That way you’re always
using the latest system for your MFP.
