NEW – Meet the Evolution of Sharp's Multifunction Printers
Experience the next generation of Sharp MFPs, reimagined with AI-driven scanning, multi-layered security, sustainable materials, and human-centric design. The new Sharp Advanced & Essential lineup replaces the earlier BP models — taking office printing into the future.
What’s New in Our Workgroup Document Systems
This is more than a refresh — it’s a re-engineered platform built for smarter workflows, deeper protection, and lighter environmental impact.
Smarter Workflows
Our AI-assisted scanning technology handles auto skew correction, resolution settings, compression, and size detection all automatically.
Multi-Layered Security
From BIOS-startup integrity with self-recovery to Microsoft Entra ID authentication, TPM 2.0 encryption, optional Bitdefender® antivirus, and intrusion detection — we’ve built protection at every level.
Sustainability by Design
Up to 50% of plastics in the units come from recycled sources. Combined with low TEC values and balanced power-save modes, our environmental footprint is intentionally small.
Human-Centric Usability
Expect intuitive touchscreens, walk-up motion sensors, original-position indicators, alert reminders, and soft-close drawers, all designed around daily use.
Enhanced Features. New Naming. Still Always Sharp
The Sharp Advanced & Essential line builds on the proven performance of the classic BP50 and BP70 models, delivering powerful new capabilities, AI enhancements, and refined naming structure.
For those already running earlier BP gear, these units integrate seamlessly into existing fleets, sharing options, parts, consumables, and service routines. That means easier upgrades, consistent toner use, and less disruption for IT and dealers.

Series 2 introduces AI-assisted scanning, stronger security, sustainability improvements, and updated usability features, all while maintaining Sharp’s trusted performance.
Not at this time. This launch applies to the Essentials and Advanced Series only. Pro Series and Desktop models remain unchanged. Check back for future updates.
Yes. The BP51 and BP71 models are built on the same engine platform as the previous BP50 and BP70 families. They share many options, parts, supplies, and maintenance items, making it easy to expand or refresh your fleet without disruption.
No. Because Series 2 uses common components and supplies with the previous generation, service teams and dealers can rely on familiar parts, toners, and maintenance kits. This continuity reduces complexity, lowers inventory costs, and keeps fleets easier to manage.
