Product Overview

Speed & Power
for the Busy
Office

The Sharp BP-20M31 is the high-speed flagship of the BP-20M series — a compact, network-ready A3 monochrome MFP that delivers 31 pages per minute without compromising on features or footprint. With two standard 500-sheet paper trays and a 100-sheet multi bypass tray, it arrives ready for the demands of a busy workgroup.

A first copy out time of just 5.2 seconds and a 100-sheet Reversing Single Pass Feeder scanning at up to 37 originals per minute keep productivity high on both short and long runs. The built-in stackless duplex module handles automatic two-sided output, while PCL 6 standard and optional PostScript 3 cover virtually every print workflow.

Security is built-in at every level — from intrusion detection and user authentication (up to 30 users) to data encryption, self-healing firmware, and a program execution whitelist — giving your IT team full confidence in every deployment.
