COPYING

Speedy Copying and Quick First Copy Time

The MX-M232D has a quick first copy time of 5.9 seconds (7.2 seconds for the MX-M182D) to save valuable time when performing multiple short-run jobs. With a continuous copy rate of

23/18 cpm, you can do more copy jobs in less time.

23 18

CPM CPM

MX-M232D MX-M182D

Electronic Sorting and Offset Stacking

The MX-M232D/M182D’s Scan Once/Print Many (SOPM) function does one scan of multiple-page documents and stores them in memory for making up to 999 copies of each page. The Electronic

Sorting function then automatically collates multiple sets of copies in page order without the aid of a sorter. The MFD also stacks each set slightly shifted apart from the previous ( offset

stacking) for easy retrieval. All this adds up to speedy copying that boosts productivity even for large-volume documents.

Large Paper Capacity

The MX-M232D comes standard with two 250-sheet paper trays (one

250-sheet tray for the M182D) and a

100-sheet multi-bypass feeder. Two types of extra paper drawers are available for a total paper capacity of up to 1,100 sheets.

Superb Image Quality

600-dpi resolution and 256-level greyscale ensure finely detailed reproduction, while Digital Auto Exposure Control provides optimum copy contrast. For the best results, users can select Text

mode for text-only originals or Photo mode that gives detailed, high-quality reproduction of photos and delicate halftone images.

FAXING (option)

High-Speed Operation

The MX-FX13 Fax Expansion Kit turns the

MX-M232D/M182D into a 33.6 Kbps Super G3 fax machine.

Using JBIG compression technology, the MFD can send an A4 size page in under 3 seconds. Use the optional RSPF to further boost faxing efficiency. Additionally, Quick On-Line Transmission can start dialling and transmitting as soon as the first page is scanned into memory, you can send documents in even less time.

Inbound Routing for Transfer to E-Mail

This function allows you to check incoming faxes before printing them out by transferring them (as PDF attachments) to a designated e-mail address.

Built-in Duplex Module and Optional RSPF

The MX-M232D/M182D can automatically produce duplex copies from one or two-sided originals. This reduces paper costs and helps save filing space. Duplex copying is even more productive when the duplex module is used together with the optional RSPF (reversing single pass feeder), which efficiently feeds in up to 40 pages of either one or two-sided originals. A 40-sheet SPF

(single pass feeder) is also

Duplex Copying available for feeding in one-sided originals.

Sharp Printer Language with Compression (SPLC) technology. SPLC effectively reduces the data size of print jobs, speeding up the data transfer time and printing process while improving overall throughput. Also, the RIP Once/Print Many (ROPM) function saves print data in the MFD’s internal memory and transfers it to output at a quick rate of 23/18 ppm in

600-dpi resolution.

Network Printing (option)

Secure Network Printing

Through its support of the TCP/IP network protocol, the optional

MX-NB12 Network Expansion Kit turns the MX-M232D/M182D into a powerful network printer. With its IP/MAC address

filtering function, only PCs that have either their IP address or

MAC (media access control) address registered are allowed to use the MFD. SSL (secure sockets layer) encryption prevents data leakage through the network when printing, browsing secure Web pages (HTTPS), or communicating via e-mail (SMTP and POP3),

LDAP server (LDAPS), or FTP (FTPS). The MX-NB12 also supports

PCL and PostScript* page description languages.

Network Printing (option)

Secure Network Printing

Through its support of the TCP/IP network protocol, the optional

MX-NB12 Network Expansion Kit turns the MX-M232D/M182D into a powerful network printer. With its IP/MAC address

filtering function, only PCs that have either their IP address or

MAC (media access control) address registered are allowed to use the MFD. SSL (secure sockets layer) encryption prevents data leakage through the network when printing, browsing secure Web pages (HTTPS), or communicating via e-mail (SMTP and POP3),

LDAP server (LDAPS), or FTP (FTPS). The MX-NB12 also supports

PCL and PostScript* page description languages.

* Optional MX-PK10 PS3 Expansion Kit required.

COLOUR SCANNING

Full-Colour A3 Scanning

The MX-M232D/M182D lets you easily scan colour originals up to

A3 in size in 600 x 600 dpi resolution and use them to create vivid, impressive colour documents or presentation materials. The optional RSPF or SPF gives efficient multi-page document scanning.

Push and Pull Scanning

Operation is quick and easy—simply press the Scan button, select an application, and press Start (push scan). Up to six pre-registered applications are available, including Sharpdesk, e-mail, Microsoft ®

Word, OCR, and fax. Button Manager allows you to change/assign these destination applications and scan settings.

With support for the TWAIN standard, the MX-M232D/M182D lets you import scanned images to a commercially available

TWAIN-compliant application (pull scan).

Sharpdesk

Sharpdesk is an original Sharp application that provides integrated desktop management of documents in over 200 file formats.

Once you scan documents and images, or drag-and-drop existing files on your PC into Sharpdesk, you can view their thumbnail images and organise, edit, and share your documents right on your PC desktop.

Sharpdesk Composer combines different types of files into a single document.

Full-Colour Network Scanning (option)

Multiple Distribution of Scanned Files

The optional MX-NB12 Network Expansion Kit turns the

MX-M232D/M182D into a convenient full-colour network scanner.

With the touch of a few buttons, you can choose different ways to distribute your scanned documents. Scan to E-mail sends documents as an e-mail attachment. Scan to FTP Server scans documents directly to an FTP server for storage. Scan to Desktop sends scanned documents directly to your PC desktop*. Scan to

USB Memory scans documents directly to USB memory devices.

* Sharpdesk must be installed on the PC.

LDAP Support

The MX-NB12 provides the MX-M232D/M182D with LDAP

(lightweight directory access protocol) support, which eliminates the need to enter or register an entire e-mail address. Simply select

Global Address from the LCD control panel, enter the first few letters of the recipient’s name, and the MFD displays a list of possible matches from names and e-mail addresses on your company’s LDAP server. After searching, addresses can be stored on the MFD for easy access.
