DEVICE MANAGEMENT
Device Cloning
Machine settings can be copied conveniently to another
MX-M314N/M264N via a Web browser in XML format, making it
easy to clone machines in a networked environment. With Device
Cloning, the administrator no longer needs to set up individual
machines one by one, thereby making his/her job a lot easier.
User Control
The MX-M314N/M264N has capabilities to
restrict machine
access and usage
. Easily manage overall running costs by setting
access rules through a Web browser to limit or restrict functions,
such as the printing out or copying of large-volume documents.
• Authority Groups – Use of each function can be restricted
individually.
• User control and account – Up to 1,000 password-protected user
accounts can be created for customised access. Accounts can be
set up for individuals, groups or departments, in conjunction
with the authority group setting. Maximum limits for printing or
copying pages can be set for each account.
Remote Diagnosis
The MX-M314N/M264N can be monitored remotely through a
Web browser. In the event of a problem, such as a low amount of
toner, an alert is displayed on the Web page. The E-Mail Status
and Alert function generates e-mail messages to notify the
administrator when action or maintenance is required.
Remote Operation
With the MX-M314N/M264N’s Remote Operation function, the
same control panel screen found on the MFD can be displayed on
the screen of a remote, office-networked PC, allowing the MFD to
be operated via that PC.* This function can, for example, enable
the administrator to guide an MFD user in need of help through
necessary procedures.
* Requires VNC application.
Network Utility Software
• Sharp Remote Device Manager
(SRDM) makes printer networks
easier to manage by allowing
administrators to customise
monitored items and view settings
such as the IP address directly from
their PC through a standard Web
browser.
• If the MX-M314N/M264N is low on
paper or toner, the
Printer Status
Monitor
will alert you in the form of
easy-to-understand graphics,
allowing you to avoid problems
before they arise.
Web-Based System Settings
Administrators can configure
system settings such as address
book control, document filing
management, and user control
(accounting) from either over
the network or from the
control panel of the
MX-M314N/M264N.
Document Management on the Hard Disk*
You can save processed job data in designated folders on the MFD’s hard disk, making it easy to instantly recall saved documents or
jobs for printing and sending at a later time. This contributes greatly to efficient sharing and distribution of information in your
business operations.
* Requires optional MX-HD12.
Easy Access to Stored Files
Documents stored on the hard disk can be quickly and easily
searched and accessed from the control panel’s LCD via thumbnail
displays and file previews or through a Web browser.
