Print directly from SAP
Sharp has teamed up with SAP to develop a full range of 
free printer device types that bring a whole new level of 
functionality to the front office. It means that everyone can 
enjoy the convenience of printing directly from any SAP 
application, with full support for collation, tray selection, 
duplex printing, barcode printing and advanced finishing 
options such as stapling, hole punching and automatic 
booklet creation. 
In addition, we offer increased flexibility through a choice 
of printing methods including the Windows driver, PCL5/
PS3 and unique device types.
Fast, flexible printing with UNIX and Linux
Now you can harness the power of Sharp’s multi 
award-winning MFPs with advanced finishing options, 
direct from the CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) 
interface. Simply install the correct PPD (PostScript Printer 
Description) - available free of charge for any Sharp MFP 
with a PostScript option - and print locally or remotely 
to any networked Sharp printer, with or without 
finishing options.
PPD drivers are also available for integration with various 
Linux environments including Ubuntu, Red Hat and SUSE. 
Seamless integration with Novell NetWare
Printing within a Novell environment is easy with Sharp 
MFPs. We support rapid integration with NetWare and 
Open Enterprise Server and have full compatibility 
with iPrint. 
What’s more, you can print securely to your office printer 
over the Internet from anywhere in the world simply by 
typing its URL in your web browser.
