MX-C400P and B400P workgroup laser printers also feature an expandable, versatile design to meet the business requirements of office environments. Each printer is configurable with up to four paper drawers and employs an auto paper size sensing for paper sizes up to legal. In total each model can facilitate up to 2,100 sheets.

Customizable Business Solutions with Sharp OSA™ Technology These printers support the third-generation Sharp OSA development platform (Ver. 3.5), allowing them to be integrated with network-based applications. Sharp OSA technology enables dealers and developers to create fully networked and customized document solutions to meet virtually any business need. With Sharp OSA technology, businesses can securely connect devices with a wide range of enterprise applications, including document management applications, reporting functions and internally developed programs.

Sharp OSA technology makes accessing an application from the printer a similar experience to using a workstation, minimizing steps and time to complete tasks. The MX-C400P and B400P come standard with the Application Communication and External Accounting modules, providing an added level of customization and flexibility via a high-resolution graphical UI and support for additional protocols, such as HTML and JAVA.

The multi-tiered, award-winning Sharp Security Suite is included in the MX-C400P and MX-B400P, which means it meets the requirements set forth in the IEEE 2600™-2008 standard, as well as IPv6 and full IPsec support. The Sharp Security Suite can be enhanced through data security kits that protect document data using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption and secure data erase, which can overwrite the hard drive up to seven times. The units also offer several layers of added security such as IP/MAC address filtering and SSL encryption. In addition, they offer local and network user authentication to ensure only authorized access to the devices.

The MX-B400P and C400P include the “Direct Print” function, allowing users to access and print documents on a server directly from the printer. These printers also enable a user to access documents online that might be stored on an FTP server, USB drive, or stored on the printer’s hard disk drive for faster recall. The MX-C400P and MX-B400P can print up to 40 PPM and feature a high speed controller, a 4.3 inch Q-VGA color display, 1200 x 1200 DPI print resolution, and an 80 GB HDD.
