produce multiple sets of copies in the original  
order. Avoid the hassle of sorting and  
arranging pages after copying them with the  
intelligent AR-M300.

User-Friendly Operation  
Digital copier/printers typically use  
computer style hard disks to capture  
the documents to be printed, scanned  
or reproduced. The disks can retain  
hundreds of pages of confidential  
information from previous copy, print  
and scan jobs. The Sharp Data  
Security Kit overwrites the document  
with random data rendering it  
unrecoverable by commercial means.  
This essential utility, recommended for  
all who handle sensitive information, is  
the World's first Common Criteria  
validated copier/printer solution.  
Highly sensitive information can now  
be securely printed, scanned or  
copied without the worry of residual  
data being left on the multifunctional  
device. The Common Criteria  
accredited Sharp Data Security Kit,  
will insure that no information remains  
on the destination device after use.  
Further security can be obtained by  
using the secure document release  
solution available from Sharp, which  
will only allow the print to be  
recovered when the user is present.  
Data protection is always important  
when dealing with customer or
