Raise the bar
on productivity.
The Sharp AR-M257 and AR-M317 Digital IMAGER™ MFPs deliver everything you
need to raise office productivity to a whole new level. With 25/31-ppm printing,
convenient networking, and integrated multifunction capabilities including scanning and
faxing—these top-notch performers are all ideal for busy workgroups. Standard features
include a 100-sheet reversing document feeder, duplexing, 1,200-dpi (enhanced) laser
output, and a large 8.1" (measured diagonally) touch-screen LCD display that makes
operation easy and intuitive. And best of all, the modular design makes it easy to add
functionality to adapt to your changing business needs. Advanced multifunction
capabilities include PCL®6 and Postscript®3™ compatible network printing, network
scanning and Super G3 faxing. Embedded software delivers advanced web-based
management tools as well as state-of-the-art security features that help your business
protect intellectual property and meet regulatory compliance.

Enhanced Paper Handling

The AR-M257/M317 Digital IMAGER MFPs were designed
with advanced paper-handling capabilities to help maximize
productivity. With a fast 25/31-ppm copy/print speed, standard
100-sheet RSPF, electronic sorting, and auto-duplex capability,
these versatile systems take the hassle out of the most sophisticated
jobs. The large 8.1" (measured diagonally) animated touch-screen
LCD display simplifies operation with easy, step-by-step
guidance—so using the AR-M257/M317 Digital IMAGER MFPs
is virtually effortless.

Convenient ID Card Shot

The Sharp AR-M257/M317 Digital IMAGER MFPs can
duplicate both sides of an ID or insurance card by holding the
first side of the card in memory and then capturing the reverse
side. Automatically, both sides are duplicated onto one side of
paper—minimizing resources and saving valuable time through
improved workflow efficiency.

Optional Network Printing

For even more performance and functionality, Sharp’s optional
PCL6 compatible Print Controller with standard networking
provides 64 MB standard memory, 1,200-dpi (enhanced)
resolution and 10/100baseT networking for ultra-crisp network
printing right from the convenience of your desktop. And, with
features that include Carbon Copy Print mode, cover pages, proof
printing and optional form/font downloads, you get the ease

and control of producing professional, high-quality
documents—without the cost of outsourcing. Integrated software
also enables you to track print usage for cost accounting and
audit purposes, making the AR-M257/M317 Digital IMAGER
MFPs incredibly simple to manage.

Scan, Save and Send

Transform the AR-M257/M317 into centralized document
distribution hubs with the optional Network Scanning Kit.
Advanced features include Scan to E-mail, Scan to Desktop,
Scan to FTP, and Scan to URL. Scanning allows you to minimize
costs associated with couriers and send documents instantly for
optimum efficiency. Documents can be saved in today’s most
widely used file formats including PDF and TIFF. For added
security, the Sharp AR-M257/M317 Digital IMAGER MFPs
support User Authentication, so you can restrict network scan
access to authorized users.

Speedy Super G3 Faxing

The AR-M257/M317 Digital IMAGER MFPs
double as powerful Super G3 workgroup
faxes with lightning-fast speed. With
advanced features including Duplex Scanning,
F-Code Communication, and Ledger-Size Reception, the
AR-M257/M317 can easily keep up with the requirements of
busy workgroups. Designed for moderate-to-heavy usage, you
can broadcast up to 200 destinations, as well as store up to
500 auto-dial numbers—all of which can be managed through
the intuitive touch-screen display.

A large 8.1" (measured diagonally) LCD touch-screen display makes using
the ARM-257/M317 Digital IMAGER MFPs a breeze.

The 1,100-sheet standard
on-line paper capacity can
be expanded to 2,100 sheets.
