SECURE

SEAMLESS SECURITY

With advancements in information technology come threats such as computer viruses, information leaks, and unauthorised access. Dealing with these wide-ranging threats is one of the most pressing issues for business today—which is why MFPs should be treated the same as other IT equipment. Sharp MFPs reduce all sorts of security risks by, for example, blocking unauthorised access and preventing information leaks from printouts or storage media. Now's the time to build a safer and more secure business environment with a Sharp MFP.

SMART

STREAMLINE DAILY OFFICE TASKS

When using a shared office or coworking space, there are only so many paper work documents you can keep on hand. To solve this problem, use an MFP to scan paper-based documents into digitised form so you can share them with others working at home or in a shared office. The MFP also lets you use text from paper documents as digital data. Now's the time to improve efficiency by embracing new ways of working.

• Duplex Single Pass Feeder (DSPF): The DSPF scans both pages of two-sided documents in one pass—in batches of up to 300 sheets. With scanning speeds of up to 280 opm (originals per minute; two-sided), the MFP is quick to finish even large jobs. *Available on BP-70C series.
• Multi-Feed Detection: The DSPF detects when two or more sheets are fed once and stops automatically. *Requires optional BP-DD10.
• Skewed Sheet Detection: Sensors detect sheets that are not fed in straight—for example, a loose page of a corner-stapled document. If this happens, the DSPF stops automatically.

Superb Image Quality

Easy, High-Quality Copying and Scanning Auto Colour Mode provides fully automated copying and scanning in both colour and B/W. The MFP first determines whether a page is colour or B/W. It then analyses page contents to distinguish between different components (such as photos, text, and text on halftone backgrounds) and selects the appropriate mode. It uses machine learning to optimally reproduce text and images. Finally, it automatically removes unnecessary background colour*.

*May not work depending on the colour of the background or type of document.

Visual Description: Examples of Auto Colour Mode processing: Original Photo, Original Text on halftone, Original Text. Copy of Photo, Copy of Text on halftone, Copy of Text.

Copying Originals with Highlighted Lines: Highlighter markings on a document are usually hard to reproduce. But with this MFP, they turn out clearly visible in copies.
