Data Security
Digital copier/printers or multifunction products can retain
hundreds of pages of confidential information from previous
jobs on their internal memory. To prevent these sensitive
records from being
recovered by
unauthorised persons, the
AR-M236 can be
equipped with the
optional AR-FR12 Data
Security Kit*, which
completely erases the
data generated for each
job.
*To be available at a later
date.
Sharp’s Layered Security Approach Protects Your Business at Every Level
The AR-M236 has multiple levels of network and data security to restrict access to your electronic documents and ensure that
unauthorised personnel cannot get hold of valuable data. Users get peace of mind knowing they can safely copy, print, scan
and fax digital documents in any business environment, thanks to Sharp, the leader in office equipment security.
IP/MAC Address Filtering
The optional AR-NC5J Print Server Card and the AR-P17 Printer
Expansion Kit provide the AR-M236 with highly secure printing
and scanning capabilities by restricting access to the AR-M236
on your office network.
Only PCs that have either
or both their IP address
or MAC (media access
control) address registered
are allowed to use the
AR-M236. Attempted
access from an unknown
IP or MAC address will
be denied, preventing
unauthorised use.
Confidential Print
With the optional AR-P17, the AR-M236 provides confidential
printing. To keep others from seeing confidential documents as
they are being printed out, the AR-M236’s Confidential Print
function requires the user to enter in a PIN (personal
identification number) at the machine before printing can begin.
User Authentication for Network Scanning
To prevent unauthorised use of network scanning, the AR-M236
supports user authentication, which requires users to log in to
the machine before performing any network scanning
operations.
Note: Available with optional AR-P17 and AR-NS2.
Auditing Mode
An auditing mode built into the AR-M236 requires users to enter
a five-digit PIN code to gain access to the operation panel. This
feature also restricts users from printing to the AR-M236.
Prevents data leak
The data generated for each
job is automatically erased
once that job is finished
