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-mail allows 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.
* Scan to Fax requires optional AR-FX12 and Scan to Internet Fax requires optional MX-FWX1
** U models require optional MX-NBX3 for Scan to HDD and Network Folder (SMB)
