FAX
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.

can be transmitted in less than 2 seconds
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

Duplex Single Pass Document Feeder
Duplex faxing enables users to automatically fax both
sides of a 2-sided document, enhancing productivity.
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.
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.

Faxing is faster and easier by dialing directly from the LCD panel.

IMAGE SEND
A gateway to sending documents via
e-mail, fax or scan –users can e-mail
