Enhanced Paper Handling
The AR-M257/M317 Digital IMAGER MFPs were designed
with advanced paper-handling capabilities to help maximize
productivity. With a fast 25/31-ppm copy/print speed, standard
100-sheet RSPF, electronic sorting, and auto-duplex capability,

jobs. The large 8.1" (measured diagonally) animated touch-screen
LCD display simplifies operation with easy, step-by-step
guidance—so using the AR-M257/M317 Digital IMAGER MFPs
is virtually effortless.
Convenient ID Card Shot
The Sharp AR-M257/M317 Digital IMAGER MFPs can
duplicate both sides of an ID or insurance card by holding the
first side of the card in memory and then capturing the reverse
side. Automatically, both sides are duplicated onto one side of
paper—minimizing resources and saving valuable time through
improved workflow efficiency.
Optional Network Printing
For even more performance and functionality, Sharp’s optional
PCL6 compatible Print Controller with standard networking
provides 64 MB standard memory, 1,200-dpi (enhanced)
resolution and 10/100baseT networking for ultra-crisp network
printing right from the convenience of your desktop. And, with
features that include Carbon Copy Print mode, cover pages, proof
printing and optional form/font downloads, you get the ease
and control of producing professional, high-quality
documents—without the cost of outsourcing. Integrated software
also enables you to track print usage for cost accounting and
audit purposes, making the AR-M257/M317 Digital IMAGER
MFPs incredibly simple to manage.
Scan, Save and Send
Transform the AR-M257/M317 into centralized document
distribution hubs with the optional Network Scanning Kit.

optimum efficiency. Documents can be saved in today’s most
widely used file formats including PDF and TIFF. For added
security, the Sharp AR-M257/M317 Digital IMAGER MFPs
support User Authentication, so you can restrict network scan
access to authorized users.
