NETWORK SCANNING

Powerful Network Scanning and Integrated Document Management
Bring a whole new level of workflow efficiency to your office with powerful network scanning that
provides direct four-way distribution (to E-mail, Desktop, FTP Server, and HDD) of scanned documents,
and with Sharpdesk™ document management software that lets you integrate files regardless of format.
A3 Network Scanning
The 50-sheet DSPF and optional AR-NS3 Network Scanner
Expansion Kit turn the AR-M351U/N into an ultra-efficient
network scanner. With the touch of a few buttons, you can
choose one of four ways to distribute your scanned documents.
Scan to HDD sends scanned images to the AR-M351U/N's hard
disk to use in the Document Filing function (see page 6). Scan to
E-mail allows you to send documents as an attachment to any e-
mail address over the Internet. You can easily enter an e-mail
subject title or file name from the touch-screen LCD. Scan to FTP
Server lets you scan a document directly to an FTP server for
special applications such as company-wide posting or archiving.
Scan to Desktop enables you to send scanned documents directly
to your computer desktop. And with Sharpdesk™ (see below),
Sharp's powerful but easy-to-use document management
software, editing and managing scanned documents is easier than
ever.

to launch application software for every file. It allows you to
organise, edit, search, and distribute your documents, all with
simple drag-and-drop operation.

Speedy Duplex Scanning
With the 50-sheet DSPF, you can scan both sides of a page at
once. This speed and simplicity lets you quickly scan two-sided
originals at up to 60 pages per minute (Standard mode).
LDAP Compatibility for Network Scanning
Built-in LDAP (lightweight directory access protocol) support
eliminates the need to enter or register an entire e-mail address.
Simply enter the first few letters of the recipient's name and the
AR-M351U/N displays a list of possible matches from names and
e-mail addresses on your company's LDAP server. This feature
saves precious time and lets you avoid errors when typing e-mail
addresses. After searching, selected addresses can be stored to the
AR-M351U/N's address book. And the integrated User
Authentication function (see page 8) blocks unauthorised access
by requiring the user to log in before searching for an address.

DOCUMENT FILING
Boost Workflow Efficiency with the AR-M351U/N's Hard Disk
Don't just get a machine that makes copies; get a machine that offers a solution for total office
document management. With the Document Filing function, you can store documents and previous
job data on the AR-M351U/N's hard disk for convenient management or reuse at any time.

Document Management on the Hard Disk
You can save processed job data in designated folders on the
AR-M351U/N's hard disk, making it easy to quickly recall saved
documents or jobs for printing and sending at a later time. For
example, recently completed print runs can be repeated without
recreating the job, thus saving on processing time and user
intervention. This contributes greatly to efficient sharing and
distribution of information in your business operations.
