BP71C36

36PPM A3 Colour Advanced MFD with DSPF

Built for today’s workstyles, the BP-71C36 Advanced series features an intelligent design that offers seamless, secure collaboration while supporting sustainability in modern office environments.

With a range of industry leading system and data protection features that not only protects the device, but also the data it processes, the optional anti-malware software from Bitdefender can add an additional layer of reassurance that your device, data and network is protected.

Its superior environmental performance also delivers lower power consumption and a low TEC value, ensuring that the BP-71C36 complies with energy regulations and supports environmental objectives.

A smart design with effortless operation that helps drive efficiency!

10.1" Full-Flat Touchscreen

With a variety of functions accessible via simple, intuitive icons, the MFD operation is smooth and easy. Customising the home screen has become easier than ever and the control panel can be tilted freely at various angles.

Duplex Single Pass Feeder

With Skewed Sheet Detection sensors that detect images that are not fed in straight and the optional Multi-Feed Detection that stops when two or more originals are fed at once, this 300-sheet DSPF can also scan up to 300 opm (originals per minute; two-sided).

Solid Security

Sharp MFD’s have multiple levels of security to keep the device—and your precious data—secure. When booting up, the MFD checks for any anomalies in the BIOS firmware. If it finds a problem, it aborts the startup and launches an automatic BIOS recovery. If there are other firmware related issues, the MFD will attempt recovery to protect the system.

Bitdefender - Anti-Virus

Sharp MFDs reduce all sorts of security risks by, for example, blocking unauthorised access and preventing information leaks from printouts or storage media. With the optional BPVD10 Anti-Virus kit, the Bitdefender scan engine defends against virus attacks on the MFD and connected devices. It scans for viruses and prevents the device from transmitting them to other devices like laptops and PCs.

Cloud Authentication

Sharp MFDs also support Microsoft Entra ID, a secure cloud-based service for managing identities and controlling device access. Token-based authentication gives you safe and easy access to any Microsoft service with a single login.

Online Firmware Updates

The Auto Firmware Update feature on Sharp MFDs automatically updates the device’s internal software without the need for service operation or manual intervention, delivering performance improvements and continuous security updates.

Built-In Retractable Keyboard

Designed to simplify e-mail address and subject line entries, as well as repetitive scanning tasks and user authentication, the standard built-in keyboard offers users a familiar ergonomic interface.

Eco-friendly Design

Sharp has applied its advanced Eco Technologies across all areas of this device. Designed for energy efficiency, this MFD boasts an impressively low ENERGY STAR® TEC value. The main unit body is also made from approximately 50% recycled plastic, and its packaging uses recyclable paper-based materials.

Link with Mobile Devices

Swiftly linking Sharp MFDs with mobile devices streamlines time-consuming workflows and gives easy access to data on devices. Not only can you send scanned documents to mobile devices, you can also print documents or photos. The Sharpdesk Mobile application also lets you easily link your mobile device via the MFD NFC tag or by scanning the QR Code®

Convert Documents via OCR

With standard OCR capabilities, users can easily scan and convert documents to popular file formats including Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel, as well as Searchable PDF & Encrypted PDF. Using Qualcomm DirectOffice technology, you can directly print these same file types from USB thumb drives, cloud applications and mobile devices.

Sharp OSA®

Sharp OSA® technology can help businesses enhance productivity, reduce costs, and simplify IT management. Utilising industry-standard protocols, Sharp devices can easily integrate with third-party applications directly from the operation panel. Using secure and scalable communications, Sharp OSA cloud-ready technology further expands flexibility in how the document workflow and security solutions are implemented.

Print & Share Documents Easily

Sharp MFDs help streamline collaboration by letting you quickly scan documents and upload them to cloud services for sharing, including Microsoft Teams, Google Drive, and others. Swiftly linking the MFD with mobile devices makes it easy to access files and keep workflows moving, and the Sharp Application Portal makes it easy for administrators to add new or update existing applications directly from the MFD touchscreen.
