A3 Colour Network Scanning
The MX-M564N/M464N/M364N works as a
full-colour network
scanner
and supports TIFF, PDF, PDF/A, encrypted PDF, JPEG, and
XPS file formats. Converting any type of paper-based document, up
to A3 (11" x 17") in size, into an editable digital file is as easy as
making a copy. Enhanced scan performance improves the legibility
of extremely fine text and allows vivid colour reproduction in
scanned documents. And
Auto Colour Selection
chooses the right
mode for scanning originals containing both colour and B/W pages.
Multiple Distribution of Scanned Files
With the touch of a few on-screen buttons, you can choose
different ways to distribute your scanned documents.
Scan to
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. And
Scan to Fax
enables conventional faxing or Internet faxing.
Quick Scanning
For both colour*
1
and B/W documents, the MX-M564N/M464N/
M364N carries out scanning at
56 opm
*
2
(originals per minute)
and can complete large scan jobs with ease and efficiency.
*1: Faxing is available in B/W only. *2: Single-side scanning
High-Speed Faxing
The optional MX-FX11 Fax Expansion Kit turns the MX-M564N/
M464N/M364N into a 33.6 Kbps
Super G3 fax
machine. Quick
On-Line Transmission initiates dialling and transmitting as soon as
a page is scanned into memory. JBIG compression technology lets
the MX-M564N/M464N/M364N send an A4 (8
1
/
2
" x 11") size
page in under three seconds*. And using the 100-sheet RSPF gives
faxing efficiency a further boost. Incoming faxes are also handled
with automated ease. The number of copies to be made can be
specified on the LCD control panel’s Fax Output setting, and
optional finishing options can be installed for automatic stapling
of those copies.
* Based on Sharp’s standard chart with approximately 700 characters (A4 or

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-FX11.
Internet Fax
Economically send and receive faxes to and from other ITU-T
T-37-compliant Internet fax machines via the Internet. The
MX-M564N/M464N/M364N 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 another fax/Internet fax machine, 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 printing* or scanning a multi-page document, the
MX-M564N/M464N/M364N recognises and skips any pages
without content, reducing both data size and transmission time
and helping to save paper.
* Not including direct printing.

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