A3 Full-Colour Scanning
The AR-M207 lets you easily scan
colour originals in 600 x 600 dpi
resolution and use them to create
vivid, impressive colour documents
or presentation materials. The
optional 40-sheet RSPF or SPF gives
efficient multi-page document scanning. The AR-M207’s high-
quality colour CCD with wide depth of focus gives you clear, full-
colour scanning of originals with uneven surfaces*, such as fabric
and documents with other paper pasted on top. This means more
creative possibilities and more ways to communicate accurately
and effectively.
*There are limits (height, width, and depth) to uneven-surface objects that
can be scanned.
Push and Pull Scanning
Operation is quick and easy — simply press the Scan button, select
an application, and press Start (push scan). Up to six pre-
registered applications are available, including Sharpdesk™, e-
mail*, Microsoft
®
Word*, OCR*, and fax*. Button Manager
software allows you to change/assign these destination
applications and scan settings. The AR-M207’s scanner driver is
also compatible with the TWAIN standard, allowing it to be used
with various TWAIN-compliant applications (pull scan).
*These applications require additional software.
Sharpdesk™ — Document Management on
Your PC
Sharpdesk™ is an original Sharp application that provides
integrated desktop management of documents in over 200 file
formats, including scanned paper-based documents and those
created with popular applications such as Word. It allows you to
organise, edit, search, and distribute your documents, all with
simple drag-and-drop operation.
• Intuitive desktop display features thumbnail viewing
• Sharpdesk Imaging provides annotation tools for paper-free
proofreading
• Sharpdesk Composer combines different types of files into a
single document
• Optical character recognition converts documents into
editable text files
• Output zone distributes files to e-mail, printers, and other
applications
• File search allows searching by file name, keyword, or thumbnail
Note: Sharpdesk is not compatible with Windows
®
95 and Windows NT
®
4.0 (Service Pack 5.0).

Speedy Printing with Sharp Technology
The AR-M207 is a high-performance printer
incorporating Sharp Printer Language with
Compression (SPLC) technology. SPLC effectively
reduces the data size of print jobs, speeding up the
data transfer time and printing process while improving overall
throughput. Also, the RIP Once/Print Many (ROPM) function
saves print data in the AR-M207’s internal memory and transfers it
to output at a quick rate of 20 ppm (A4 size) in 600 dpi resolution.
Smart Sharing
The AR-M207’s Smart Sharing function allows you to
connect multiple computers directly to the machine
without having to go through a network. This is
great news for small workgroups that need to share
the unit with only a few PCs and don’t have a LAN
set up in their office. Two USB ports (USB 1.1 and
USB 2.0) and one IEEE 1284 port are provided as
standard for a total of three PC connections.
Powerful Network Printing
The AR-M207 supports popular network protocols including
TCP/IP and IPX/SPX. The optional AR-NB3 Network
Printing/Scanning Expansion Kit allows easy printer sharing
through your office network. The AR-NB3 also gives you PCL 6/5e
printer language emulations. For compatibility with more fonts
and better graphics handling, PostScript 3 emulation is available
with the optional AR-PK1N PS3 Expansion Kit.
Job Offset and Job Separator
The AR-M207 ensures your
documents will stay neatly
organised even when others
are sharing the machine. To
make it easier to locate and
retrieve your documents from
the tray, the AR-M207’s Job
Offset function stacks each
print job slightly shifted apart from one another. In addition, the
optional AR-TR4 Job Separator Tray Kit lets you send printer
output to the Job Separator tray or beneath it, preventing your job
from getting mixed in with copies and faxes.
Printer Status Window
A Printer Status Window conveniently
allows you to monitor important printer
information on your PC, including on-
line/off-line status, name of the active
print job, and machine conditions such
as the amount of paper or toner.
Other Key Features
• N-up, Fit-to-Page, watermarks
• Duplex printing
Network Utility Software
Sharp’s original Printer Administration Utility software makes
printer networks easier to manage by allowing network
administrators to customise monitored items and view settings such
as the IP address directly from their PC. And with the Printer
Status Monitor, network PC screens can display printer conditions,
such as toner levels and whether there is any paper remaining.
IP/MAC Address Filtering for Security
The AR-NB3’s IP/MAC address filtering function provides highly
secure operation by restricting access to the AR-M207 on your
office network. Only PCs that have either their IP address or MAC
(media access control) address registered are allowed to use the
AR-M207. Attempted
access from an
unknown IP or MAC
address will be denied,
preventing
unauthorised use.
Other Key Features
• Barcode font compatibility
(requires AR-PF1)
• PDF/TIFF direct printing
(PDF direct printing requires AR-PK1

Scan to Desktop, E-Mail, or FTP Server
The optional AR-NB3 Network Printing/Scanning Expansion Kit
turns the AR-M207 into a convenient full-colour network scanner.
As easy as making a copy, you can send scanned images anywhere
over the network. Scanned files can be forwarded directly to your
PC* (scan to desktop), sent as an attachment to any e-mail
address over the Internet (scan to e-mail), or stored on a file server
where they can be easily accessed from any PC on the network
(scan to FTP server).
*Network Scanner Tool and Sharpdesk™ must be installed on the PC.

LDAP Support
The AR-NB3 provides the AR-M207 with LDAP (lightweight
directory access protocol) support, which eliminates the need to
enter or register an entire e-mail address. Simply select “Global
Address” from the LCD control panel, enter the first few letters of
the recipient’s name, and the AR-M207 displays a list of possible
matches from names and e-mail addresses on your company’s
LDAP server. This feature saves precious time and prevents errors
when typing e-mail addresses.
