SECURITY
Print Hold and Confidential Print
To keep others from seeing confidential documents as they are
being printed out, the AR-M452U's Print Hold function stores print
data and withholds output until the user executes a print
command from the control panel. For added security, the
Confidential Print function requires the user to enter in a PIN
(personal identification number) at the machine before printing
can begin.

Secure Sockets Layer
SSL (secure sockets layer) enables the encryption of data
communications to prevent data leakage through the network
when printing via IPP, browsing secure Web pages (HTTPS), or
communicating via e-mail (SMTP and POP3) or FTP (FTPS).
USER- & ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY
Printer Status Monitor
If the AR-M452U is low on paper
or toner, the Printer Status
Monitor will alert you in the form
of easy-to-understand graphics,
allowing you to avoid problems
before they arise.
Environmentally Conscious Design
• In support of the RoHS directive, which restricts the use of
hazardous substances, Sharp has fully eliminated harmful lead
and chromium in all AR-M452U parts and materials.
• The AR-M452U has two levels of energy-
saving modes to reduce or shut off
electricity after a period of inactivity. And
pressing the manual energy save key
after a job is finished immediately puts the
AR-M452U into pre-heat mode for further
cutbacks on running costs.
8.1-Inch Touch-Screen LCD
The AR-M452U's logically designed control
panel features a wide, clear, touch-screen
LCD with easy-to-follow guidance. For
example, when adjusting staple/sort
finishing or making pamphlets, the LCD
displays step-by-step instructions to guide
you through the necessary procedures.

Secure Network Access
The AR-M452U's IP/MAC address filtering function provides
highly secure operation by restricting access to the AR-M452U on
your office network. Only PCs that have either their IP address or
MAC (media access control) address registered are allowed to use
the AR-M452U. Attempted access from an unknown IP or MAC
address will be denied, preventing unauthorised use. The AR-
M452U also supports the IEEE 802.1X standard for port-based
network access control, which blocks all access from unauthorised
devices.
User Authentication
The AR-M452U prevents unauthorised use by requiring user ID
numbers for machine access. This safeguarded solution can
register up to 200 users in three access levels as Administrator,
User, or Guest and can designate to which function user
authentication applies. The
AR-M452U can, for example,
be set to allow copying by all
users while restricting printing
to designated users.
Device Cloning
Machine settings can be copied conveniently to another AR-M452U
via a Web browser in XML format, making it easy to clone
machines in a networked environment. With Device Cloning, the
administrator no longer needs to set up individual machines one by
one, thereby making his/her job a lot easier.
