A3 Colour Network Scanning
The MX-4101N/4100N 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-4101N/4100N supports TIFF, PDF, encrypted PDF,
high-compression 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).
* Requires optional MX-EBX3.
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 (SMB) sends files to a shared folder on a
networked Windows PC. Scan to USB Memory scans documents
directly to USB memory devices.
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-4101N/4100N
displays a list of possible matches
from your company’s LDAP server.
Selected addresses can be stored to
the MX-4101N/4100N’s address
book.
High-Speed Faxing
The optional MX-FXX2 Fax Expansion Kit turns the MX-4101N/
4100N into a 33.6 Kbps
Super G3 fax . Using JBIG compression
technology, the MX-4101N/4100N can send an A4 size page in
under 3 seconds*. Use the 150/100-sheet DSPF/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-4101N/4100N 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-4101N/4100N 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-4101N/4100N 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).
Skip Blank Page Function
When scanning and sending a multi-page document, the
MX-4101N/4100N automatically recognises and skips over any
pages without content, reducing both data size and transmission
time.
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-4101N/4100N 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 MFDs 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-4101N/4100N 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-4101N/4100N embeds copy prevention data onto a
document when it is first copied or printed. It will then detect this
data 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-4101N/4100N’s IP/MAC address filtering function
provides highly secure operation by restricting access to the
MX-4101N/4100N 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-4101N/4100N.
Attempted access from an unknown
IP or MAC address will be denied,
preventing unauthorised use. The
MX-4101N/4100N also supports the
IEEE 802.1X standard for port-based
network access control, which blocks
all access from unauthorised devices.
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-4101N/4100N prevents unauthorised use by requiring
passwords for machine access. This safeguarded solution can
register up to 1,000 users in three access levels as Administrator,
User, or Guest and can designate to which function user
authentication applies. The MX-4101N/4100N can, for example,
be set to allow B/W copying by all users while restricting colour
copying to designated users.
Moreover, the MX-4101N/4100N
works with an
external Active
Directory server to extend user
authentication to multiple MFDs and
a greater number of users.
IPv6 and IPsec Support
The MX-4101N/4100N 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.
