pages of a given document in the memory,
allowing you to return to work on the original.
The AR-M300 then uses the stored version to
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
