With its broad combination of proprietary software solutions, the Sharp AR-M350/450 Digital Imager optional scanning capabilities deliver an exceptionally flexible suite of fully networkable information management tools.

Three main scanning functions deliver exceptional efficiency. First, Scan to Desktop allows users to send scanned files directly to their desktop computers, automatically convert them to text, and store them in their favorite file formats (such as Word or Excel). By using the Scan to Desktop function, users can automatically launch the application the scanned file is stored in so the document and application are up and running before you return to your desk.

Second, the Scan to E-mail function saves time and allows users to send scanned images directly to any e-mail address. Additionally, addresses can be imported and transferred directly to the AR-M350/450 Imager via the EIU (Export/Import Utility).

Third, the Scan to FTP function enables direct scanning to an FTP file server for special applications. By simply entering the IP address of an FTP site, users can pass files to an EDMS (Enterprise Document Management System) located directly on a server.

Finally, with Sharp???s proprietary software, SharpdeskTM 2.0 with Composer, users have a comprehensive, easy-to-use document management tool that allows them view, distribute, integrate and manipulate both paper and electronic documents regardless of the varied applications in which they were created. With Sharpdesk 2.0, users can scan documents directly to workstations, file servers, a specific application, or any e-mail address they choose.

The Sharp AR-M350/450 Digital Imager also functions as a lightning-fast fax???enhancing your business efficiency with transmission times of as little as two seconds per page.

As part of its high speed, high resolution optional faxing capabilities, the AR-M350/450 Digital Imager can store up to 500 quick-dial numbers. Documents can be transmitted in less than 2 seconds1 utilizing JBIG compression with its 33.6 modem. It offers exceptional clarity with 256 grayscale levels, along with varied resolution settings (including settings for small print, fine and extra fine fonts). And with the optional Duplex Single Pass Feeder, you can even fax both sides of a two-sided document automatically.

Documents can also be faxed to any Internet-enabled fax machine. By simply scanning the document and transmitting to a Network IP address of any fax machine, you save by reducing costs on dialing expenses.

The Sharp AR-M350/450 Digital Imager supports the F-code standard, making it possible to perform special operations such as relay broadcast transmission and confidential transmission. F-code transmission is convenient when sending important documents that you only want a specific person to see since a passcode is required to print the document. A transaction record will automatically print to inform you that a confidential document has been stored.
