A3 Colour Network Scanning
The MX-M564N/M464N/M364N works as a full-colour network 
scanner and supports TIFF, PDF, PDF/A, encrypted PDF, JPEG, and 
XPS file formats. Converting any type of paper-based document, up 
to A3 (11" x 17") in size, into an editable digital file is as easy as 
making a copy. Enhanced scan performance improves the legibility 
of extremely fine text and allows vivid colour reproduction in 
scanned documents. And Auto Colour Selection chooses the right 
mode for scanning originals containing both colour and B/W pages.
Multiple Distribution of Scanned Files
With the touch of a few on-screen buttons, you can choose 
different ways to distribute your scanned documents. Scan to 
E-mail sends documents as an e-mail attachment. Scan to FTP 
Server scans documents directly to an FTP server for storage. Scan 
to Desktop sends scanned documents directly to your PC 
desktop. Scan to Network Folder (SMB) sends files to a shared 
folder on a networked Windows PC. Scan to USB Memory scans 
documents directly to USB memory devices. And Scan to Fax 
enables conventional faxing or Internet faxing.
Quick Scanning
For both colour*
1
 and B/W documents, the MX-M564N/M464N/
M364N carries out scanning at  56 opm*
2
 (originals per minute) 
and can complete large scan jobs with ease and efficiency. 
*1: Faxing is available in B/W only.  *2: Single-side scanning
High-Speed Faxing
The optional MX-FX11 Fax Expansion Kit turns the MX-M564N/
M464N/M364N into a 33.6 Kbps Super G3 fax machine. Quick 
On-Line Transmission initiates dialling and transmitting as soon as 
a page is scanned into memory. JBIG compression technology lets 
the MX-M564N/M464N/M364N send an A4 (8 
1
/2" x 11") size 
page in under three seconds*. And using the 100-sheet RSPF gives 
faxing efficiency a further boost. Incoming faxes are also handled 
with automated ease. The number of copies to be made can be 
specified on the LCD control panel’s Fax Output setting, and 
optional finishing options can be installed for automatic stapling 
of those copies.
* Based on Sharp’s standard chart with approximately 700 characters (A4 or 
8 
1
/2" x 11" long-edge feeding) at standard resolution.
PC-Fax/PC-Internet Fax
Directly send a document created on your PC to a recipient’s fax 
machine via a phone line or the Internet without printing to paper. 
Save time and paper costs while retaining original document quality.
Note: PC-Internet Fax requires optional MX-FWX1; PC-Fax requires MX-FX11. 
Internet Fax
Economically send and receive faxes to and from other ITU-T 
T-37-compliant Internet fax machines via the Internet. The 
MX-M564N/M464N/M364N supports Direct SMTP; outgoing 
Internet faxes do not go through your mail server, making 
transmission faster and cheaper. 
Note: Requires optional MX-FWX1.
Paperless Faxing with Inbound Routing
Paperless faxing with inbound routing lets you check incoming 
faxes via e-mail before printing. It can also forward incoming faxes 
to another fax/Internet fax machine, an FTP server, a network 
folder (SMB), or a PC desktop. Files can be saved in either PDF or 
TIFF (single/multi). 
Skip Blank Page Function
When printing* or scanning a multi-page document, the 
MX-M564N/M464N/M364N recognises and skips any pages 
without content, reducing both data size and transmission time 
and helping to save paper.
* Not including direct printing.

LDAP Support
Built-in LDAP (lightweight directory access protocol) support 
eliminates the need to enter or register full addresses. When you 
enter the first few letters of the 
recipient’s name, the MFP displays a 
list of possible matches from your 
company’s LDAP server. Selected 
addresses can be stored to the MFP’s 
address book.
