More about Sharp’s printing and productivity innovations

Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America is one of the leading printer and MFP manufacturers in the world.

Scan2 TechnologyTM. This proprietary technology aims to double your productivity by adding the capability of double-sided printing with one pass through the printer, instead of the two passes it takes conventional printers. This technology may seem minor but when you think about the thousands of documents you print over time, you realize the time savings to be had with Scan2 printing. This features does more than decrease the time spent waiting by the printer, it also allows for fewer passes across your documents–preventing wear and tear and protecting the integrity of your original documents.

Touchscreen interfaces are offered in a range in sizes, from 7 inches to 10.1 inches. And no matter what suits your office best, Sharp provides an option that will work for you.
