With a variety of functions accessible via simple, intuitive icons, the MFD operation is smooth and easy. Customising the home screen has become easier than ever and the control panel can be tilted freely at various angles.

The standard equipped 100-sheet RSPF (reversing single pass feeder) efficiently feeds in either one or two-sided originals. With a scanning speed of up to 80 opm (one-sided) for both colour and B/W documents, this MFD can complete large jobs with ease and efficiency.

Sharp MFD’s have multiple levels of security to keep the device—and your precious data—secure. When booting up, the MFD checks for any anomalies in the BIOS firmware. If it finds a problem, it aborts the startup and launches an automatic BIOS recovery. If there are other firmware related issues, the MFD will attempt recovery to protect the system.

Sharp MFDs reduce all sorts of security risks by, for example, blocking unauthorised access and preventing information leaks from printouts or storage media. With the optional BPVD10 Anti-Virus kit, the Bitdefender scan engine defends against virus attacks on the MFD and connected devices. It scans for viruses and prevents the device from transmitting them to other devices like laptops and PCs.

Sharp MFDs also support Microsoft Entra ID, a secure cloud-based service for managing identities and controlling device access. Token-based authentication gives you safe and easy access to any Microsoft service with a single login.

The Auto Firmware Update feature on Sharp MFDs automatically updates the device’s internal software without the need for service operation or manual intervention, delivering performance improvements and continuous security updates.

Sharp has applied its advanced Eco Technologies across all areas of this device. Designed for energy efficiency, this MFD boasts an impressively low ENERGY STAR® TEC value. The main unit body is also made from approximately 50% recycled plastic, and its packaging uses recyclable paper-based materials.

The optional BPFD10 folding unit automates various types of folds, such as Z-fold and C-fold, for efficient production of direct mail and other items. When installed with the BPFN16 saddle finisher, you can even staple Z-fold documents as well.

Swiftly linking Sharp MFDs with mobile devices streamlines time-consuming workflows and gives easy access to data on devices. Not only can you send scanned documents to mobile devices, you can also print documents or photos. The Sharpdesk Mobile application also lets you easily link your mobile device via the MFD NFC tag or by scanning the QR Code®

With optional OCR capabilities, users can easily scan and convert documents to popular file formats including Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel, as well as Searchable PDF & Encrypted PDF. Using Qualcomm DirectOffice technology, you can directly print these same file types from USB thumb drives, cloud applications and mobile devices.

Sharp OSA® technology can help businesses enhance productivity, reduce costs, and simplify IT management. Utilising industry-standard protocols, Sharp devices can easily integrate with third-party applications directly from the operation panel. Using secure and scalable communications, Sharp OSA cloud-ready technology further expands flexibility in how the document workflow and security solutions are implemented.

Sharp MFDs help streamline collaboration by letting you quickly scan documents and upload them to cloud services for sharing, including Microsoft Teams, Google Drive, and others. Swiftly linking the MFD with mobile devices makes it easy to access files and keep workflows moving, and the Sharp Application Portal makes it easy for administrators to add new or update existing applications directly from the MFD touchscreen.
