More than any other piece of office equipment, printers, copiers and MFPs demand continual attention - even if it’s just to keep them supplied with toner and paper. And every time one becomes unavailable, dozens of employees can be affected and the productivity of an entire workgroup compromised. That’s why Sharp has developed a suite of software applications specifically designed to ease the burden of managing MFPs, making your job easier and faster, while reducing the cost of ownership.
