Sharp new line of copiers is bringing a new
level of performance to its acclaimed MFP product lineup, introducing Sharp
AR-m257 workgroup category copier. The new AR-M257 copier brings robust
functionality and enhanced features to the low, mid and high-end business
environments.
With faster multifunction processors, larger
touch-screen displays, enhanced document management and security features, these
new models can easily keep up with today’s accelerated pace of business and
provide the flexibility for growth as businesses evolve. These new models also
support Windows Vista™, the newest Microsoft® operating system for
PCs, as well as IPV6, the next generation of Internet Protocol.
This new Workgroup model offers many product
enhancements to help customers meet their document workflow needs in today’s
fast-paced, security-conscience environments. Sharp’s new monochrome document
systems can help office personnel spend less time at the copier and more time on
the business at hand. Additionally, Sharp’s enhanced multilevel, security
strategy helps businesses protect intellectual property, as well as employee
privacy.”
Sharp AR-M257 With a more powerful 64
bit microprocessor and new 8.1-inch touch-screen LCD display, the recently
introduced AR-M257 document systems offer 25 ppm out-of-box copying and
printing. With their flexible design, the AR-M257/M317 make it easy to add
optional multifunction capabilities such as PCL6 network printing, network
scanning with available application integration and Super G3 fax. Ideal for
small- to mid-size workgroups, the AR-M257 offer a 100-sheet reversing document
feeder, auto Duplexing and 1,200 dpi (enhanced) laser output.
