Sharp Printer Manufacture Date

Hi

I have a Sharp MX-2610N printer and I have heard that you can tell what the manufacture date is of the machine by certain digits in the serial number. Does anyone know which digits?

Kind regards

Scott

Don't thin k that you can easily with Sharp, but the MX2610n is a fairly recent model.
released in  the last 12-18 months in the UK

I have been told previously by a Sharp engineer that its something like the last 3 digits which tells you the month and year in. But unfortunately, it isn't, as the last 3 digits of my printer is 000. I cannot get in contact with him any more as I don't know where he is.
I think that has changed. we are sharp dealers.
We have several that have been installed in the last 12 months (some on the same day), and the serial numbers seem to bear no relationship.
Often there is an offset or a letter that tells you when to start counting from.
I'll ask our Sharp Tech later.
Many thanks for that. Its much appreciated.
