Sharp MX-M350-U manual Network Scanning, Faxing or Internet faxing

NETWORK SCANNING

Speedy A3 Network Scanning

The 50-sheet DSPF and optional MX-NSX1 Network Scanner Expansion Kit turn the MX-M450/M350 series into an ultra- efficient network scanner* that can be used with any Windows PC on the network. Converting any type of paper-based document, up to A3 (11" x 17") in size, into an editable digital file is as easy as making a copy.

* U models require optional MX-NBX2 or MX-NBX3

Multiple Distribution of Scanned Files

With the touch of a few buttons, you can choose different ways to distribute your scanned documents. Scan to E-mailallows you to send documents as an attachment to any e-mail address over the Internet. Scan to FTP Server lets you scan a document directly to an FTP server for special applications such as company- wide posting or archiving. Scan to Desktop enables you to send scanned documents directly to your PC desktop. With Sharpdesk, Sharp’s powerful but easy-to-use document management software, editing and managing scanned documents is easier than ever. Scan to HDD sends scanned images to the MX-M450/M350 series’ built-in hard disk to use in the Document Filing function. Scan to Network Folder (SMB) sends files to a shared folder on a networked Windows PC. And Scan to Fax enables conventional

faxing or Internet faxing.

Linearised PDF

With the MX-M450/M350 series, you can create linearised PDF files, which allow the first page of a PDF file to be displayed in a user’s Web browser before the entire file is downloaded. This saves users the time and frustration of having to wait for large PDF files to be displayed in their Web browsers.

LDAP Support

Built-in LDAP (lightweight directory access protocol) support eliminates the need to enter or register full addresses. Simply enter the first few letters of the recipient’s name and the MX-M450/ M350 series displays a list of possible matches on your company’s LDAP server. This feature saves precious time and lets you avoid errors when typing e-mail addresses. After searching, selected addresses can be stored to the MX-M450/M350 series’ address book. And the integrated User Authentication function (see page 8) blocks unauthorised access by requiring the user to log in before searching for an address.

Easy Text Entry

Use the LCD control panel’s onscreen keyboard to customise file names or e-mail messages and subject titles, making it easier for the recipient to recognise and archive this information.
