Introduction 

The new Sharp AR-5623D/5620D/5618D, AR-5623N/5620N/5618N & AR-5623/5620/5618 are fast, fully featured 

A3 MFPs in a robust and compact design. These machines bring advanced functionality, impressive quality and a 

whole host of productivity features within reach of every small workgroup as they are ideal for all your daily black & 

white printing, colour scanning and copying needs. 

Depending on the model, you can print at speeds of 23, 20 & 18 pages per minute which is more than enough to 

support the needs of a busy small office. Moreover, Sharp Printer Language with Compression (SPLC) comes as 

standard which means faster data transfer and enhanced throughput too. Network printing is standard on 

AR-5623N/5620N/5618N. As for AR-5623D/5620D/5618D & AR-5623/5620/5618, an optional Network Expansion 

Kit is available for network print and USB memory scan. With performance like this, it’s easy to understand why 

there is an option to increase the paper supply to 1,100 sheets. 

Copying is just as quick and easy as printing. A first copy out time of 5.9 seconds (on AR-5623D/5623N/5623) and 

7.2 seconds (on AR-5620D/5620N/5620 & AR-5618D/5618N/5618) eliminate unnecessary delays from multiple short 

run jobs and the optimised Scan Once/Print Many technology simplifies longer runs and the built in A3 scanner 

allows documents to be colour scanned directly to popular office applications at the touch of a button. 

AR-5623D/5620D/5618D & AR-5623N/5620N/5618N have duplex as standard and an optional Reversing Single Pass 

Feeder while the AR-5623/5620/5618 has an optional Single Pass Feeder. All machines benefit from a new 

Separation Roller for smooth paper flow and Electronic Sorting which helps to improve efficiency. 

In summary, the AR-5623D/5620D/5618D, AR-5623N/5620N/5618N & AR-5623/5620/5618 are perfect for the small 

workgroup and with such a small footprint; they can be placed where a conventional copier/printer could never go.

Market Analysis 

� A3 B&W MFP Market 

� The graph below shows the European market data for A3 B&W MFPs 2005 - 2014 as forecast by infoSource. 

� The A3 B&W MFP market has been shrinking since 2005 because of the “B to C Strategy” (Black to Colour) 

which started in 2004/05. 

� In 2008 the market was around 710,000 units which was 75.6% vs 2005. Noticeably, Category 1 (0 – 19 

cpm) reduced dramatically to 57.3% vs 2005. 

� In 2009 the market decreased to 66.3% vs LY due to the economic crisis in 2008 with Category 1 (0 – 19 

cpm) being the worst effected. 

� infoSource shows an increase of 2.8% in 2010 compared to 2009 but there is no longer a growth 

expectation in the B&W category as colour is main stream in the MFP industry now. 

� By 2014, the market will be almost flat with 465,000 units which is 99.0% vs 2009 and 49.6% vs 2005.

Press the start button and wait 7.2 seconds for the first copy output (AR-5620D/5620N/5620 & 

AR-5618D/5618N/5618). Moreover, the first copy is output in just 5.9 seconds on the AR-5623D/5623N/5623 – 

saving even more time. 

� Minimal waiting time 

� Valuable time saved in multiple short-run jobs 

An advantage of the fast first copy out time is that the MFPs respond immediately if you touch or operate any of 

the buttons while they are powered up. 

� 2-in-1/4-in-1 Copy 

Two or four originals can be copied on a single sheet of paper. 

� Efficient use of copy paper and energy savings 

� Duplex Output 

Standard on AR-5623D/5620D/5618D & AR-5623N/5620N/5618N. N/A on AR-5623/5620/5618. 

By including a standard duplexing unit it is possible to output copies and prints on both sides of the paper. 

Combined with the 2-in-1/4-in-1 copy, it is possible to save a lot of paper and money.

� Printing Functions 

� Scan Once Print Many 

Originals are scanned once and stored in memory. All copies are then produced from memory. 

� Fewer visits to set additional copies 

� Less machine wear and tear 

� Speedy Printing with Sharp Technology 

SPLC effectively reduces the data size of print jobs, speeding up the printing process while improving overall 

throughput. They also provide RIP Once/Print Many (ROPM) memory for efficient processing, quickly freeing up 

your PC for other tasks and reducing transmission times. Documents are output at a quick rate of 23 ppm 

(AR-5623D/5623N/5623), 20 ppm (AR-5620D/5620N/5620) or 18 ppm (AR-5618D/5618N/5618) in 600 dpi 

resolution. 

The Sharp proprietary features ensure that your print jobs are output as fast and reliably as possible. 

� Network Printing
