Sharp AR-M276, AR-M236 Document Management, Input, Throughput, Output, Job Status and Monitoring

DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT

Input, Throughput, Output

The AR-M236/AR-M276 can be used as an input device to convert hard copy documents into electronic format thanks to their 40opm high speed scanning facility and 100 sheet document feeder.

With the optional scanning kit, you can send electronic data scanned via the AR-M236/AR-M276 to pre-set e-mail addresses, ad-hoc e-mail addresses, FTP sites and/or to a desktop PC at the touch of a key.

Sharp’s own document software, Sharpdesk™, comes bundled with the optional scanner kit and enables electronic documents to be sent directly to your desktop PC. From here you are able to browse, sort, search and file. It also allows you to easily create and distribute complete reports, proposals, and more utilising a simple drag and drop operation.

The scanning option also supports LDAP

(Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)

which means that if your e-mail server is SNMP compliant, e-mail addresses will automatically be updated on the LCD touch screen of the AR-M236/AR-M276 as and when your central e-mail server is updated. This feature saves a substantial amount of time not having to re-programme the machine and ensures the e-mail address book on the AR-M236/ AR-M276 is always up to date.

Job Status and Monitoring

As such it is imperative that the workgroup using the AR-M236/AR-M276 should be able to assess the status of the device at any given time. Sharp Printer Administration Utility and Status Monitor software do just this. Whether you are a network administrator or a user, these software utilities enable you to interrogate the device across the network and assess the status of the device before you send a print job. Status Monitor lets you know whether the machine is on-line or off-line and even how much paper is remaining in the cassettes.

E-mail Status and Alert

Sharp’s unique e-mail alert utility further improves the level of feedback you are able to get from the AR-M236/AR-M276 and can actually pre-empt minor problems. An e-mail will automatically be sent to a key operator advising that the toner may be low allowing them to replace this item in advance, or that a service may be required in the near future.
