Sharp MX-SW100 User Manual

CONTROL YOUR OUTPUTS…

The MX-SW100, Print Release Software gives everyone in your ofﬁ ce control in how you print. It works by storing documents on a server until required, rather than printing them out immediately. And that means fewer visits to the Multifunction Products (MFPs) or printers, less waiting around, improved document security and reduced waste.

BUILT-IN SECURITY The MX-SW100 is a server-based print release solution that can be integrated into existing IT infrastructure. Document security can be efﬁ ciently managed and maintained.

• Option to integrate with customers’ existing security authentication structure to manage users.

• ID card authentication allows secure user login and print release.

• Only logged-in users’ print jobs are displayed at the MFP/printer operation panel.

CONTROL Print jobs are retained at the server until they are released from the device’s operation panel, enhancing productivity and maintaining conﬁ dentiality.

• Print jobs can be released only when the appropriate recipient is present at the MFP or printer; this

helps reduce lost documents and avoids having documents mixed up with other documents.

• The MX-SW100 solution allows users to change the number of copies printed and/or the type of

ﬁ nishing applied from the device’s operation panel, helping eliminate resubmission of print jobs.

• Submitted print jobs are available from any supported Sharp MFP or printer on the network.

• Basic reporting is available to review print history.

LESS WASTE The MX-SW100 solution helps users reduce waste, minimize paper usage, and reduce consumable costs.

• Release prints only when documents are required, helping reduce unnecessary paper usage.

• Print cost can be minimized by changing color output to monochrome at the device’s operation panel.
