AR-M257

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)
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.
Quick and Easy Sets
Produce multiple-page handouts for
meetings and presentations with the
Job Build feature. Just program the
AR-M257/M317 through the touch-screen
LCD display and walk away. Job Build can
accommodate and output up to 500
sheets. Add the optional 1,000-sheet
finisher or saddle-stitch finisher with
available hole-punching, and you can
completely automate the entire
process to save even more time.
Crisp, High-Quality Imaging
With standard PC printing up to
1200 x 600 dpi (enhanced) resolution,
the new AR-M257/M317 Digital
IMAGER MFPs produce incredibly crisp
text and rich images. Sharp’s host-based
print controller utilizes JBIG compression, which reduces the job’s
file size and speeds up processing. A standard USB-2.0
interface and IEEE 1284 parallel interface provides flexible
connection alternatives regardless of your computer platform.
Additional time-saving features that help maximize productivity
for busy workgroups include N-up Printing, Fit-to-Page, Automatic
Duplexing and Sorting.
Optional Network Printing
For even more performance and functionality, Sharp’s optional
Print Controller with PCL6 compatibility and 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.
