High-Speed Operation
The optional AR-FX7 Fax Expansion Kit turns the
AR-M318/M258 into a Super G3 fax machine
featuring a fast modem speed of 33.6 Kbps. Using
JBIG compression technology, the AR-M318/M258 can send an A4
(8
1

2
" x 11") size page in under 3 seconds*. Working together
with the machine’s 1.5-second scanning, this function greatly
enhances the efficiency of your faxing jobs.
* Based on Sharp’s standard chart with approximately 700 characters (A4 or

Quick On-Line Transmission
The AR-M318/M258 starts dialling and transmitting a multi-page
document as soon as the first page is scanned into memory. This
greatly reduces the overall time it takes to send the document.
Duplex Transmission and Reception
With the optional RSPF, the AR-M318/M258 scans both pages of
two-sided documents and sorts them in memory. The pages are
then transmitted in the proper order. Thanks to the standard
duplex module, the AR-M318/M258 can also print incoming faxes
onto both sides of paper, thus saving you paper costs.
500-Number Auto Dialling
Register up to 500 numbers
into the customisable directory
of one-touch auto-dial keys,
listed in alphabetical order for
easy searches of specific
numbers.
F-Code Communication
Conforming to the ITU-T F-Code (sub-address and passcode)
standard, the AR-M318/M258 is capable of F-Code confidential
communication, F-Code relay request transmission, and F-Code
memory polling with other fax machines regardless of the
manufacturer or model.
Super Fine Mode
You can set the AR-M318/M258 to this ultra-high resolution to
give the recipient crisp, clear reproduction of detailed images and
fine text.
Multi Access
You get two different functions simultaneously; for example, you
can scan documents into memory for transmission while you
receive an incoming fax.
PC-Fax
A PC-Fax function allows you to directly send a document created
on your PC to a recipient’s fax machine via the AR-M318/M258.
Since all faxing procedures are done on your PC without printing
to paper, this function saves time, increases faxing productivity,
and retains original document quality.
