Sharp Corporation announces the launch of the A3 MFPs <BP Series> lineup for the 26-65 ppm models.

This series not only improves productivity by scanning up to 300 images per minute for duplex single pass feeders (※1), but further strengthens connection with cloud services, making it easy to work smarter in diverse styles. In addition to "OneDrive" "Google Drive™", this series newly supports "Microsoft Entra ID" that enables easy access to Microsoft services such as "Microsoft Teams" and "Microsoft OneDrive for Business" with a single login. A seamless connection with various services and devices supports your work from various locations.

Corresponding with the diverse workstyle and enhanced connectivity, security threats are increasing. Addressing these risks, Sharp emphasizes on security features and equipped an automatic recovery function that activates whenever the BIOS or firmware detects a problem.

Moreover, committing to environmental measures, this series consists of approximately 50% recycled plastic out of the total plastic used in the product. Using less new material will help to reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing, leading to a greener future.

Sharp MFPs will support your diverse work style through cloud connection and robust security that leads to a seamless and secure collaboration, while addressing eco-friendly measures for your modern office environment.

■ Main features

1．Supporting Microsoft Entra ID, a secure cloud-based service that enables seamless connection

The MFP supports Microsoft Entra ID, a secure cloud-based service for managing user identities and controlling device access. Token-based authentication gives you safe and easy access to any Microsoft service such as Microsoft Teams and Microsoft OneDrive for Business with a single login. From the MFP's control panel, you can upload to or print from various cloud-based services. Apps for these services can be installed on the MFP via Sharp's Application Portal, and update alerts ensure that you're always using the latest versions (※2).

2. Automatic recovery activates when BIOS/firmware finds any problem when booting up, to protect a secure environment

The MFP checks for any anomalies in the BIOS/firmware when booting up. If it finds a problem, it aborts the startup and launches an automatic BIOS recovery. By verifying the firmware, the BIOS protects the MFP system. If there are other firmware-related issues, the MFP will attempt recovery to protect the system.

3. Recycled plastic making up approximately 50% of the total plastic used in the MFP's main body

Recycled plastic makes up approximately 50% of the total plastic used in the MFP's main body. Using less new material helps to reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing. Sharp has also reduced plastic waste by using recyclable corrugated cardboard instead of polystyrene foam for the MFP's packaging (※3).
