Sharp OSA opens the door to a broad array of value-added functionality and flexibility, all designed to deliver the power of customization to the customer. Sharp OSA leverages the inherent interoperability of Web services design to enable Sharp, its dealer network and ISV partners to better meet customer needs.
Since MFPs have become an integral part of the networked office, IT administrators are demanding more and more advanced security features.

The award-winning* security for Sharp’s network-attached MFPs can be enhanced through data security kits, which encrypt document data using 128-bit encryption and erase the memory of a document on the hard drive by overwriting encrypted data up to seven times.
To further assist customers with Sharp MFP and digital document products, all models come with 24-hour support from My Sharp, a dedicated online customer training Web site.
