What to do if transmission does not take place on my Sharp MX-M850 due to file size?

  If your administrator has set a limit on the size of transmitted files, a file that exceeds the limit cannot be transmitted. Check with your administrator. Reduce the size of the file attachment by reducing the number of pages scanned or by scanning using a lower resolution setting. You can also ask your mail server administrator what the file size limit is for one e-mail transmission. If the destination folder is not configured as a shared folder, select "share" in the folder properties. If the folder was moved or otherwise changed, the "share" setting may have been canceled.

  The original scan size setting might be smaller than the actual original size. Set the scan size to the actual original size. If you have intentionally set a smaller size than the actual original size, note carefully the placement position of the selected scan size when placing the original.

How to fix poor quality of scanned image on Sharp MX-M850?

  James McbrideAug 27, 2025
  If the original is printed matter such as a book or magazine, vertical patterns (moiré) may occur. Touch the [Exposure] key in the base screen to open the exposure setting screen; the [Moiré Reduction] checkbox appears in this screen. Also, if you are scanning a color or grayscale original, ensure that the color mode is not set to "Mono2". Setting the color mode to "Mono2" replaces the colors in the original with either black or white, which is suitable for text-only originals; however, originals with illustrations should be scanned with the color mode set to [Grayscale], [Full Color], or [Auto] - [Grayscale].

  Check whether the original is placed face up or face down correctly. When using the document glass, the original must be placed face down. When using the automatic document feeder, the original must be placed face up.

  First, ensure the destination information is correct and the destination is properly selected. For e-mail delivery issues, check for "Undelivered Message" errors sent to the administrator's e-mail, as it may help identify the problem. Also, if you are trying to scan a long original, it cannot be scanned from the document glass; use the automatic document feeder instead. If a folded original is placed in the automatic document feeder, unfold it and rescan, following the display instructions. If the original size is not detected correctly, try placing the original again or manually specify the original size.
