To meet the growing demands for seamless collaboration, regardless of location, employees the Sharp MX-B468F, MX-B468P, MX-C358F and MX-C428P MFPs enable a variety of ways to connect. The devices provide cloud connectivity for location-independent printing and scanning. And convenient direct printing from USB drives, network drives or cloud repositories saves even more time. Native mobile apps make documents accessible on smartphones and tablets for productivity on the go.
Robust Security for Peace of Mind
Data security is more critical than ever given remote and mobile working patterns. The Sharp MX-B468F, MX-B468P, MX-C358F and MX-C428P MFPs have been engineered to safeguard sensitive information with both physical and digital protections.
The integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) (an option) provides a more secure experience for users by storing hard drive encryption keys on a separate piece of hardware. SSL Certificate Validation automatically checks that all third-party servers communicating with devices are safe, to prevent any unauthorised attempts to access information.
IT administrators can remotely apply security policies across devices. Device can be authenticated using a variety of methods, including card readers, PINs or passwords, to suit your preferred security protocols. Once users are authenticated, the connection to the company network is fully secure.
Sustainability for Modern Workplaces
With green initiatives now a business priority, a variety of high efficiency features also help you reduce running costs and protect the environment. Default double-sided printing reduces paper waste, while long-life consumables help lower the number of disposables being used. Recyclable packaging cuts environmental impact.
Low-power modes activate during downtimes to conserve energy. Faster warm up time reduces power consumption by up to 11% compared to previous models, while longer life toner cartridges reduce waste and require less servicing. By considering sustainability factors, the new A4 MFPs help organisations of all sizes cost-effectively align office printing with their wider environmental commitments.
Overall, the Sharp MX-B468F, MX-B468P, MX-C358F and MX-C428P models are designed to meet the needs of hybrid workplaces with their emphasis on flexibility, security, ease of use, and ability to improve efficiency and collaboration.
