ENHANCED WORKFLOW FEATURES INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY
Out-front, easy-to-use features can help maximize document workflow
efficiency in any business environment
Exceptional Print Quality with Professional Finishing
With the new MX-2600N and MX-3100N, your business can produce
brilliant, high quality color documents, as well as razor-sharp B&W
documents. Plus, with 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution, even documents
with fine detail will look great!
Powerful finishing features
include 3-position stapling for
up to 50 sheets, saddle stitching
up to 15 ledger-size sheets and
hole-punching.* Now, you can
produce professional quality
documents from your desktop
that look so good, everyone will
think you had them sent out to
a printer.
Sharp’s easy-to-use print drivers make accessing
all of the MX Color features simple and easy
FLEXIBLE DOCUMENT DISTRIBUTION
A True Multi-Tasking Document System
The new MX-2600N and MX-3100N feature a high-performance,
800 MHz multi-tasking controller that delivers copy, fax and print jobs
continuously for optimum efficiency. Other controllers only perform
one operation at a time. But the MX Series continually processes incoming
jobs even while existing jobs are output. The result? A workflow that
virtually never slows down—even at crunch time.
Direct USB Printing Adds Convenience and Portability
With Direct USB printing, users can
print color or B&W files in a variety
of popular formats directly from
USB memory devices such as a
ThumbDrive
TM
or ClipDriveTM.*Need
to print PDF brochures in a hurry for
a big meeting? It’s easy with the MX
Color Series, just plug in your portable
USB memory device, select the file,
and your job prints immediately.

Integrated Network Scanning
With Sharp’s powerful ImageSend technology, you get one-touch
distribution features that centralize document workflow, reduce
mail costs and save time. With up
to seven destinations—E-mail ,
Desktop, FTP, Network Folders
(SMB), USB, Fax and Internet
Fax—getting your document

Convenient E-mail Distribution
With Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), there’s no need to
manually enter a recipient’s complete e-mail address. Simply enter the
first few characters and the MX automatically searches and displays a list
of matching names. Unique File Naming allows users to enter specific
file names with custom subject fields, so it’s easier than ever to recall
files when you need them. And, with Sharpdesk
® personal document
management software, users can easily organize their
scanned documents and integrate them into everyday workflow.
Integrated PC Fax and Internet Fax
Add powerful facsimile capability to your MX Color Series with the
optional Super G3 fax module, which offers advanced features such
as automatic stapled/copied receptions and Inbound Fax Routing
to e-mail. Sharp’s innovative PC fax driver enables
users to send fax documents right from their
desktop. For Internet fax operation, add the
optional B&W Internet Fax expansion kit.
Versatile Application Integration
To help streamline document workflow and enhance productivity,
the new MX-2600N and MX-3100N support the Sharp OSA development
platform. This third generation technology allows users to interact
with network applications faster than ever before—and right from
the machine LCD panel! With the ability to personalize applications and
proccesses specific to your business, Sharp OSA technology can help
reduce redundancy and streamline workflow. Sharp OSA technology
uses industry-standard network protocols, such as XML and SOAP,
allowing the MX to communicate with many different applications. The
Sharp OSA development platform is also scalable, so as your workflow
needs change, Sharp’s application integration can change as well.
* Some features require optional equipment.

HEIGHTENED SECURITY HELPS PROTECT YOUR BUSINESS
Innovative document and device protection helps ensure confidentiality
of information as well as authorized access and control of all functions.
To help protect your data, the MX-2600N/3100N Series offers several layers
of security, making Sharp the optimum choice to protect employee privacy
and intellectual property. As the leader in office equipment security, Sharp
makes it easy for any business or government entity to safely deploy digital
copying, printing, scanning and faxing.
Authority Groups and Access Control
Advanced account management enables administrators to set authority
groups for access to features of the MX-2600N/3100N Series. Administrators
can control which department, for instance, has full access to color copying,
printing, scanning and/or fax.Walk up users enter a code, Local Name and
Password, or LDAP User Authentication to access their features assigned to
their group. Users can also login utilizing a human interface device (HID)
such as a Smartcard or Common Access Card (CAC).
Data Erase and Encryption**
To help protect your data, the MX-2600N/3100N Series offers an optional
data security kit that encrypts document data using AES (Advanced
encryption standard) encryption. Additionally, the data security kit erases
the temporary memory on the hard drive by overwriting the encrypted data
up to seven times, offering an unprecedented level of assurance.
Network Scanning Access
To help protect your network from unauthorized e-mail communications,
the MX-2600N/3100N Series supports User Authentication, requiring
users to login before performing any network scanning operations.
*
Control Device Access Over the Network
To help restrict access to the device over the network, the MX-2600N/3100N
Series offers IPsec, SMB and extended support for SSL Encryption (Secure
Sockets Layer), IP/MAC address filtering, IEEE 802.1x authentication,
protocol enable/disable and port management for maximum security.
Documents Remain Confidential
To help protect your printed documents from unauthorized viewing, the
MX-2600N/3100N Series offers encrypted PDF files for printing and scanning
as well as Confidential Printing that requires users to enter a PIN code in
order to print a queued document. Additionally, Secure Fax Release ensures
received fax documents are held in memory until an authorized user enters a
PIN code. So compliance with healthcare regulations such as HIPAA is easier.
Tracking and Auditing Information
Legislation and industry policies require companies to be more aware of
information flow from their offices. Sharp offers both built-in and additional
hardware/software which allows users to control, access and track usage of
each device on the network.
These scalable security offerings aim to protect your intellectual property,
preserve confidential information and help your business to meet
regulatory requirements, such as the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA), and the Gramm Leach Bliley Act (GLB). For
additional information visit: www.sharpusa.com/security
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
Designed with a Strong Commitment to Protecting the Environment
The MX-2600N and MX-3100N document systems utilize Sharp’s
second generation micro-fine toner technology, which offers a lower
consumption rate than conventional toners. This also results in less
packaging material and longer replacement intervals. Additionally,
all Sharp supplies are packaged using fully recyclable materials.
Power consumption on the MX-2600N and MX-3100N is among the
lowest in the industry and supports two different energy saving modes
to reduce or shut off power after a set interval. All Sharp document
systems belong to the EnergyStar
An Economical, Low Maintenance Color Document
System That Makes Sense
The MX-2600N and MX-3100N are designed to accommodate both large
and small office environments. With a compact wingless design, the
footprint of each base model is less than 25”x 28”. Our new long-life
consumable parts and supplies minimize service intervals and down time,
resulting in lower operating costs.
