The Bottom Line

In testing, IATSD found that overall, most enterprises will find the Sharp AR-M700N a very productive performer with

several natural advantages. In testing, the unit displayed only some minor disadvantages, and these are all

software related involving multiple printer management, and installing and deploying software.

The unit’s advantages include very competitive tested print and copy speeds, standard network scanning with LDAP

compatibility, simultaneous sending to multiple types of destinations, network authentication for secure scan-to-e-

mail, and excellent productivity in duplex mode with Sharp’s Duplex Single Pass Feeder.

The Sharp AR-M700N produced prints and copies with good fine detail. Its network printer-management software is

easy to use for both administrators and clients. The AR-M700N may also be equipped with a variety of options

including Super Group 3 walkup fax, document finishers (including a saddle-stitch booklet-maker), post-process sheet

inserter, and an option for printing barcodes. Most notably, the Sharp AR-M700N can be simultaneously equipped

with both a finisher and mailbox, a combination that is not available from most other vendors. This is especially

useful in enterprises where printed document security is a consideration.
