Advanced Multifunction Document System with a Compact Design
The Sharp AR-168S and AR-168D advanced Digital Imagers offer
big machine functionality in a small desktop size. Both models offer out-of-the-box performance copying, 600
dpi PC printing, and color PC scanning. And, with advanced features that include electronic
sorting, offset stacking, and smart device sharing, the AR-168S and AR-168D are
well equipped to deliver the productivity required in today’s fast-paced
small office environments. With
flexible options that include Super G3 faxing, advanced networking, web-based
management and more, these Imagers can grow to meet your ever-changing business
needs. Additionally, the AR-168S
and AR-168D use a cost-efficient conventional supply system (separate toner,
developer, and drum), which is more economical than cartridge-based systems and
can reduce your total cost of ownership.
The Sharp AR-168S and AR-168D Digital Imagers are
versatile solutions for any growing business looking to maximize
productivity.
