Sharp MX-7000N

WHAT WE LIKED
• Users familiar with Sharp and its products will require no adjustment or
learning curve with Document Filing on the Sharp MX-7000N
• The Quick (public), Main, and Customized (private) folders offer users addi-
tional options. Multiple users can access and print the same file through the
Quick folder, which can be optionally set to be password protected. Custom-
ized folders, which are password-protected, allow only specific users access
and provide faster access to documents than the public alternative offered
by some competitors.
• Printing directly from USB memory stick avoids network bandwith and
provides greater POD flexibility
• Print on demand functions reduce network traffic that otherwise would have
been created if the users had to re-send the complete document data to the
printing device—a strong argument for network administrators.
• Extensive document production and finishing options are available when
submitting the document to print. Some alternatives only allow a simple
instruction on the number of sets.
• Documents can be scanned to the hard drive from the desktop.
• Up to three levels of security are available: at the entry level, folder level,
and at the document level.
• Users can view a full version of the document before printing it at the control
panel.
WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE
• While users can queue up copy, print, and scan jobs at the copier, perform-
ing batch printing at the control panel with the same secure login and pass-
word is desirable.
• The ability to view thumbnails of scanned or e-filed documents prior to print-
ing is helpful when searching for a specific document. This would provide
easier recognition. Currently, users have to search and open each document
in print preview mode.
• Currently, Sharp’s print preview attribute on the desktop allows user to view
documents before printing from the desktop. The same print preview, per-
haps thumbnails using low resolution jpeg files, at the control panel would
bring this benefit to the device level.
• Batch printing at the control panel would let users select multiple documents,
assign print and finishing options, and print all documents as one job.
