Sharp Central Print FAQs What is an MFP?
Sharp MFPs are multi-function printers capable of printing, faxing, copying, and scanning documents. Although typically found in office environments, Sharp offers a new line of smaller and less expensive MFPs tailored for the home office or small business environments. And, given the cost of supplies for an MFP versus ink-jet printers, a Sharp MFP can be a more economical solution, even for a smaller home office.
