A3 Colour Network Scanning

The MX-2600N works as a 

full-colour network scanner

 that can 

be used with any Windows PC on the network. Converting any 
type of paper-based document, up to A3 in size, into an editable 
digital file is as easy as making a copy. The MX-2600N supports 
TIFF, PDF, encrypted PDF, JPEG, and the new 

XPS

 (XML Paper 

Specification) file formats. Plus, 

Auto Colour Selection

 chooses 

the right mode for scanning originals containing both colour and 
B/W pages (see page 4).

Multiple Distribution of Scanned Files

With the touch of a few buttons, you can choose different ways to 
distribute your scanned documents. 

Scan to E-mail

 sends 

documents as an e-mail attachment. 

Scan to FTP Server

 scans 

documents directly to an FTP server for storage. 

Scan to Desktop

 

sends scanned documents directly to your PC desktop. 

Scan to 

Network Folder

 sends files to a shared folder on a networked 

Windows PC. 

Scan to USB Memory

 scans documents directly to 

USB memory devices. And 

Scan to Fax

 enables conventional 

faxing or Internet faxing.

LDAP Support

Built-in LDAP (lightweight directory access protocol) support 
eliminates the need to enter or register full addresses. By entering 
the first few letters of the recipient’s 
name, the MX-2600N displays a list 
of possible matches from your 
company’s LDAP server. Selected 
addresses can be stored to the 
MX-2600N’s address book.

High-Speed Faxing

The optional MX-FXX2 Fax Expansion Kit turns the MX-2600N into 
a 33.6 Kbps 

Super G3 fax

. Using JBIG compression technology, 

the MX-2600N can send an A4 size page in under 3 seconds*. Use 
the 100-sheet RSPF to further boost faxing efficiency. Additionally,  

Quick On-Line Transmission

 can start dialling and transmitting 

as soon as the first page is scanned into memory, allowing you to 
send documents in 

even less time

.

* Based on Sharp’s standard chart with approximately 700 characters (A4 
long-edge feeding) at standard resolution.

Automated Fax Finishing

The MX-2600N eliminates the need to copy and staple received 
faxes by hand. Simply use the Fax Output setting on the LCD 
control panel to designate the 
number of copies. With finishing 
options installed, the MX-2600N will 
even automatically staple these 
documents for you.

PC-Fax/PC-Internet Fax

Directly send a document created on your PC to a recipient’s fax 
machine via a phone line or the Internet without printing to paper. 
Save time and paper costs while retaining original document 
quality.

Note: PC-Internet Fax requires optional MX-FWX1; PC-Fax requires MX-FXX2. 

Internet Fax

Economically send and receive faxes to and from other ITU-T 
T-37-compliant Internet fax machines via the Internet. The MX-
2600N supports 

Direct SMTP

; outgoing Internet faxes do not go 

through your mail server, making transmission faster and cheaper. 

Note: Requires optional MX-FWX1.

Paperless Faxing with Inbound Routing

Paperless faxing with inbound routing lets you check incoming 
faxes via e-mail before printing. It can also forward incoming faxes 
to an FTP server, a network folder (SMB), or a PC desktop. Files 
can be saved in either PDF or TIFF (single/multi).   

Note: Faxing is available in B/W only.

SECURITY

Industry-Leading Multi-Layered Security

With multiple levels of network and data security to cover a wide range of security needs, Sharp’s industry-leading 
security solutions protect your business assets and bring peace of mind. The MX-2600N safeguards sensitive data with 
powerful, enhanced security functions that eliminate the worry of unauthorised use and guarantee greater protection for 
your confidential information.

Data Security Kit

Digital copier/printers or MFPs can retain hundreds of pages of 
confidential information from previous jobs on their hard disks or 
internal memory. To safeguard this information from unauthorised 
access, the optional 

Data Security Kit

 

automatically 

encrypts and 
erases

 the data after 

each job is complete 
as well as data 
stored both on the 
hard disk and in the 
address book.

Encrypted PDF with Password Protection

To prevent unauthorised viewing of confidential image data, the 
MX-2600N enables users to password protect and encrypt PDF 
data. By setting a password when scanning, users can transmit a 
PDF over the network in encrypted format. Then, after 
transmission, 
viewers will only 
gain access to the 
encrypted PDF 
after successfully 
re-entering the 
chosen password.

Document Control Function

Document Control prevents unauthorised copying, scanning, 
faxing, and filing of confidential documents. This is how it works: 
the MX-2600N embeds copy prevention data onto a document 
when it is first copied or printed. It will then detect this data, for 
example, the next time someone tries to make a copy of the 
document. Any unauthorised attempts to copy a Document 
Controlled-document will simply be cancelled or result in the 
output of a blank page.

Note: Requires optional Data Security Kit. May not work for certain types of 
documents or paper. 

Secure Network Access

The MX-2600N’s 

IP/MAC address filtering

 function provides 

highly secure operation by restricting access to the 
MX-2600N on your office network. Only PCs that have either their 

IP address or MAC (media access 
control) address registered are 
allowed to use the MX-2600N. 
Attempted access from an unknown 
IP or MAC address will be denied, 
preventing unauthorised use. The 
MX-2600N also supports the 

IEEE 

802.1X

 standard for port-based 

network access control, which blocks 
all access from unauthorised devices.

Print Hold and Confidential Print

To keep others from seeing confidential documents as they are 
being printed out, the MX-2600N’s 

Print Hold

 function stores 

print data on its hard disk 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 Authentication

The MX-2600N prevents unauthorised use by requiring 

passwords

 for machine access. The MX-2600N can register up to 

1,000 users in 

three access levels

 as Administrator, User, and 

Guest. And it can also designate to which function user 
authentication applies. For example, 
the MX-2600N can be set to allow 
B/W copying by all users while 
restricting colour copying to 
designated users. 

IPv6 and IPsec Support

The MX-2600N supports IPv6, the next-generation Internet protocol. 
An obligatory part of IPv6 is IPsec (IP Security), a set of protocols for 
securing Internet protocol (IP) communications. IPsec encrypts and 
authenticates traffic between specified parties, giving 
IPsec-compatible products an extremely high level of network security.
