| NETWORK SCANNING |

The 100-sheet RSPF and optional MX-NSX1 Network Scanner Expansion Kit turn the AR-M316/M256 into a 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.

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. And Scan to Fax enables Super G3 faxing (see FAXING ).

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 AR-M316/M256 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 AR-M316/M256’s address book. And the integrated User Authentication function (see SECURITY ) blocks unauthorised access by requiring the user to log in before searching for an address.

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.

With support for the TWAIN standard, the AR-M316/M256 allows you to use scanned images with any commercially available TWAIN-compliant application (push out method).
