In today’s fast-paced business environment it is essential to maximize your daily productivity. That is why Sharp designed the new AR-M257/317. This versatile multifunction performer is a robust out-of-the-box workgroup copier/printer that enables you to spend less time at the copier—and more time on your business.

With standard features that include a 100-sheet reversing document feeder, auto-duplexing, and 1200-dpi laser output, the AR-M257/317 is well equipped to deliver the performance required in any busy workgroup. And, as your business needs change, the innovative modularity of the Sharp AR-M257/317 allows you to integrate powerful multifunction capabilities such as PCL6 and Postscript Level 3 network printing, advanced network scanning, Super G3 faxing, and web-based management — as well as leading-edge security features.


Today's digital office products (digital multifunctional units, printers etc.) use memory and storage just like a PC. This means they retain document data in memory. Memory retention increases the potential exposure to disclose confidential document data, which could severely impact your business.

To mitigate this threat, Sharp offers a scalable suite of security solutions geared toward preserving the confidentiality of your digital document data.

Sharp's Data Security Kits enable highly-sensitive information to be securely printed, copied, scanned and faxed, eliminating your exposure to data theft from memory retention.

The Data Security Kit first encrypts the image data and then overwrites it (up to 7 times) after the job is complete. Today, Sharp is the industry leader achieving the highest validation level as acknowledged by the Common Criteria(ISO15408) program, which is sponsored by the National Security Agency (NSA)*.

Features:
  • Encrypts data in memory for:
    • Fax
    • Print
    • Copy
    • Scan
  • All memory cleared after copy, scan and print use
  • Runs automatically without user intervention
  • Port access management
Benefits:
  • Sensitive data is encrypted and/or overwritten on the print/copy device
  • Helps companies conform to Data Privacy legislation (PIPEDA)
  • Encrypted data is an additional security level that removes the risk of access to data between overwriting jobs or power outages.
