Digital IMAGER
AR-M700N
In March 2004, Sharp introduced a new
digital copier family, the AR-M550, M620
and AR-M700 that it rates at 55, 62 and 70-
ppm respectively. These units feature dual-scanning (scanning both sides of a
two-sided document in a single pass) and tandem printing capability (users can
link two digital copier/printers together, effectively doubling print speed).
Industry Analysts recently tested the AR-M700N Digital IMAGER.
The AR-M700N configuration includes standard network printing, and optional
network scanning (Sharp’s ImageSEND). With ImageSEND, users can
simultaneously scan and send documents to multiple groups, e-mail, file server,
Internet fax and fax destinations from the touch-screen control panel in just a
few easy steps. The AR-M700 also features state-of-the art printing features
such as secure printing, hold printing and sample printing, as well as an
upgrade to PostScript printing. As with all “N” models in this series, the unit
features standard tandem copying/printing capability, allowing the customer to
link the AR-M700N with a AR-M550N, the AR-M620N or AR-M700N, increasing
copy/print speeds by as much as 100%.
A Note on Our Testing
This test report produced by Industry Analysts, Inc. is based on tests performed
using standardized test methods and practices. These test methods and practices
include the conditioning and testing of various subsystems, repeatability, data
collection and reporting, etc.
At Industry Analysts’ Fairfield, New Jersey, test laboratory, we use commonly
recognized lab practices such as:
Ø All devices are installed on dedicated power lines.
Ø All devices are tested using stabilized network conditions.
Ø All anomalies and/or service required is recorded and reported.
Ø All misfeed data, including the current meter count, misfeed location,
substrate, modes and paper drawer in use is recorded.
Ø Temperature and humidity are monitored during the tests and adjusted if
necessary.
Ø We test using all paper sources, duplex modes and applicable paper types.
Ø When we test at a vendor-authorized facility, we test using the same
portable client/server test apparatus that we use in our testing laboratory
