Is the MX-C301W a decent reliable table top? We have stayed away from this series and have been using the Kyocera M series instead so I do not know too much about them.

I like the Kyocera m color series, they have been for the most part reliable. Use OEM toners only and make sure you shake them good before installation and it seems to alleviate any toner feeding issues with the augers in the transfer belt unit. I think the feed tires are a little difficult to change but overall reliable and decent color.
If the customer runs envelopes and can't remember to flip the fuser pressure levers back and forth then add needless service calls.
Our highest volume MX-C301W was at 165K when traded in. 10 service calls. 3 were fuser levers not flipped back after running envelopes and 1 was damp paper. The other 6 were legit calls. 2 PM's.
We have several of the MX-C300P printers doing high volume color. Our highest is metered is currently 1,495 black and 668,784 color.
I personally do not like them. You have to completely remove the paper tray to change the waste container. Dumb. I can send you some service records if you want to look them over.
Wow, I can't believe you have one with 668.784 on it. This is for a client who runs a small business and should not be making a ton of prints, just a few here and there as far as I know. They had an MX-C312 but moved and when they moved it, it fell over on its side and was destroyed.
The MX-C301W has been replaced with the MX-303W and MX-304W.
You can no longer order the MX-301W.
One of my least favorite Sharp boxes. These units were supposed to "fill the holes" for Sharp color desktops. Doing the color registration adjustment on this turd was a real pain in the a$$, most tech would skip them. My biggest complaint on this unit is the cost of toner. Even with dealership pricing, these things were expensive to run.
Failing to plan is planning to fail!!!
