The Integration of Documents
With its broad combination of proprietary
software solutions, the Sharp AR-M350/450
Digital Imager optional scanning capabilities
deliver an exceptionally flexible suite of fully
networkable information management tools.
Finally, with Sharp’s proprietary software,
SharpdeskTM 2.0 with Composer, users have
a comprehensive, easy-to-use document
management tool that allows them view,
distribute, integrate and manipulate both
paper and electronic documents regardless
of the varied applications in which they were
created. With Sharpdesk 2.0, users can scan
documents directly to workstations, file servers,
a specific application, or any e-mail address
they choose.
Three main scanning functions deliver
exceptional efficiency. First, Scan to Desktop
allows users to send scanned files directly to
their desktop computers, automatically convert
them to text, and store them in their favorite
file formats (such as Word or Excel). By using
the Scan to Desktop function, users can
automatically launch the application the scanned
file is stored in so the document and application
are up and running before you return to your
desk.
Sharp AR-NS2 Network Expansion Kit (optional)
Scan documents directly to your desktop, file server or e-mail.
Sharpdesk™ 2.0 (included with AR-NS2)
Desktop document management software features include
scanning, OCR, Image Viewer and more. A document can be
e-mailed or posted to the web, or printed and professionally
finished. You can also file, OCR, print or link to your fax server
right from your desktop.
Second, the Scan to E-mail function saves
time and allows users to send scanned images
directly to any e-mail address. Additionally,
addresses can be imported and transferred
directly to the AR-M350/450 Imager via the
EIU (Export/Import Utility).
L
Third, the Scan to FTP function enables direct
scanning to an FTP file server for special
applications. By simply entering the IP address
of an FTP site, users can pass files to an EDMS
(Enterprise Document Management System)
located directly on a server.

The Features of Functionality
The Sharp AR-M350/450 Digital Imager also
functions as a lightning-fast fax—enhancing your
business efficiency with transmission times of as
little as two seconds per page.
As part of its high speed, high resolution optional
faxing capabilities, the AR-M350/450 Digital Imager

can be transmitted in less than 2 seconds1 utilizing
JBIG compression with its 33.6 modem. It offers
exceptional clarity with 256 grayscale levels, along
with varied resolution settings (including settings
for small print, fine and extra fine fonts). And with
the optional Duplex Single Pass Feeder, you can even
fax both sides of a two-sided document automatically.
Documents can also be faxed to any Internet-enabled
fax machine. By simply scanning the document and
transmitting to a Network IP address of any fax
machine, you save by reducing costs on dialing
expenses.
L
Faxing is faster and easier by dialing directly from the LCD panel.
The Sharp AR-M350/450 Digital Imager supports
the F-code standard, making it possible to perform
special operations such as relay broadcast
transmission and confidential transmission.
F-code transmission is convenient when sending
important documents that you only want a specific
person to see since a passcode is required to
print the document. A transaction record will
automatically print to inform you that a confidential
document has been stored.
IMAGE SEND
IMAGE SEND
A gateway to sending documents via
e-mail, fax or scan– users can e-mail
or fax images to multiple destinations,
simultaneously. Two separate functions–
such as faxing while printing – can
similarly be used at the same time
to double your productivity.
