DEVICE MANAGEMENT
Remote Diagnosis
The MX-M564N/M464N/M364N can be monitored remotely 
through a Web browser, letting administrators handle tasks before 
they become problems. And when action or maintenance is 
required, the E-Mail Status and Alert function notifies 
administrators via timely e-mail alerts.
Remote Operation
The Remote Operation function lets you display the MFP’s main 
control panel on your PC screen, allowing you to operate every 
major function directly from your desktop.* This function also 
enables the administrator to guide an MFP user through necessary 
procedures and allows remote MFP operation from a wheelchair. 
* Requires VNC application.
Network Utility Software
Sharp Remote Device Manager* (SRDM) gives administrators 
centralised control of their networked MFPs through a standard 
Web browser, making device cloning and other operations easier 
and more accessible.
* Contact a Sharp customer representative for availability and other details.
Web-Based System Settings
Administrators can manage every important setting—including 
user access and security as well as other controls and 
configurations—through a standard Web browser right from their 
desktops.
EASE OF USE
Industry-Leading Multi-Layered Security
Designed to protect your business assets and bring you peace of mind, Sharp’s industry-leading security solutions employ multiple levels of 
security functions—both standard equipped and optional—covering a broad range of network and data security needs. The MX-M564N/
M464N/M364N safeguards sensitive data with powerful, enhanced security functions that eliminate the worry of unauthorised use and 
guarantee greater protection for your confidential information. 
Data Encryption and Overwriting
Digital copier/printers and MFPs retain large amounts of data 
generated from copy/print/scan/fax jobs in internal storage. To 
safeguard confidential data from unauthorised access, 
standard-equipped security features on the MX-M564N/M464N/
M364N automatically encrypt job 
data prior to saving it to internal 
storage. Once a job is finished, 
that encrypted data is erased via 
up to seven automatic overwrites. 
Protection of administrator/
file/folder passwords brings 
further peace of mind. 
Note: Contact a Sharp customer 
representative for details on activating 
these security functions. 
User Authentication
The MX-M564N/M464N/M364N prevents unauthorised use by 
requiring passwords for machine access. This safeguarded 
solution can register up to 1,000 users in three access levels as 
Administrator, User, or Guest and can designate to which function 
user authentication applies. 
And the MX-M564N/M464N/
M364N works with an 
external Active Directory 
server to extend user 
authentication to multiple MFPs 
and a greater number of users. 
Encrypted PDF with Password Protection
To prevent unauthorised viewing of confidential data, the 
MX-M564N/M464N/M364N enables scanned PDF data to be 
password protected and encrypted for transmission over the 
network. After transmission, viewers can gain access to the 
encrypted PDF only after re-entering the password.
IPv6 and IPsec Support
The MX-M564N/M464N/M364N supports the IPv6 Internet 
protocol. An obligatory part of IPv6 is IPsec (IP Security), a set of 
protocols for securing Internet protocol (IP) communications. IPsec 
encrypts and authenticates traffic between specified parties, giving 
IPsec-compatible products an extremely high level of network 
security.
Document Control Function
Document Control prevents unauthorised copying, scanning, 
faxing, and filing of confidential documents by embedding copy 
prevention data onto a document. When that data is detected, 
any unauthorised attempts to copy will be cancelled or will result 
in only blank-page output.
Note: Requires optional Data Security Kit. May not work for certain types of 
documents or paper. 
Data Initialisation
The MX-M564N/M464N/M364N’s initialisation function allows 
confidential information to be erased at the administrator’s 
discretion via the MFP’s system setting. Initialising an MFP when it’s 
time to replace it prevents important resources, such as customer 
information and intellectual property, from leaking out and 
provides considerable peace of mind. 
Secure Network Access
The IP/MAC address filtering function provides highly secure 
operation by restricting access to the MFPs on your office network. 
Only PCs that have either their IP address or MAC (media access 
control) address registered are allowed to use the MFPs. 
Attempted access from an 
unknown IP or MAC address 
will be denied, preventing 
unauthorised use. The 
MX-M564N/M464N/M364N 
also supports the IEEE 
802.1X standard for 
port-based network access 
control, which blocks all 
access from unauthorised 
devices.
SECURITY
Secure Sockets Layer
SSL (secure sockets layer) enables the encryption of data 
communications to prevent data leakage through the network 
when printing via IPP, browsing secure Web pages (HTTPS), or 
communicating via e-mail (SMTP and POP3) or FTP (FTPS). 
STANDARD
OPTION
7.0-Inch Touchscreen LCD
The MX-M564N/M464N/M364N’s control panel features a wide, 
clear, WVGA-resolution touchscreen LCD. Easy-to-follow guidance 
puts step-by-step instructions on the LCD to guide you through all 
the necessary procedures for staple/sort finishing, pamphlet 
making, and other functions. 
Easy-Grip Handles
Easy-grip handles on the MX-M564N/M464N/M364N reflect a 
universal design that allows the paper drawers to be grasped from 
the top as well as the bottom for easy opening and closing. 
Thumbnail Display and Previews
Displaying thumbnails and up-close previews of Document Filing 
data files along with file names on the MX-M564N/M464N/
M364N’s LCD makes searching for files easy and convenient. It can 
also prevent errors by allowing users to confirm finishing options, 
scan settings, and other such items before copying, scanning, or 
saving documents to the MFP’s hard disk. Thumbnails and 
previews of incoming faxes and Internet faxes can also be 
displayed on the LCD to help users decide which documents to 
print out or forward to others.
Job Status Screen
Whether printing or copying, the control panel displays a list of all 
jobs, showing you at a glance the jobs in progress and the position 
of your job in the queue. And, with a few quick touches of the 
LCD screen, the Priority Printing function lets you easily change 
the job queue order or delete jobs that are no longer needed. 
Retractable Keyboard (option)
A full-size retractable QWERTY 
keyboard slides out from beneath 
the control panel to make text input 
fast and easy: convenient for typing 
things like e-mail addresses and 
messages, as well as passwords for 
user authentication.
