Your office copier can do more than print, copy, and scan. Are you taking advantage of everything it offers?

For businesses throughout Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania, efficiency matters. Whether you're managing paperwork in a medical office, scanning contracts at a law firm, or organizing documents at a school, your office copier could be doing more to simplify your workday.


At Precision Copy Products, we've been helping local businesses with their office technology needs since 1989. As a locally owned Sharp dealer, we want our customers to get the most out of their equipment.


Here are seven Sharp multifunction printer (MFP) features you may not know about!


1. Save Time with One-Touch Shortcuts

Tired of selecting the same settings every time you scan or copy? Many Sharp copiers allow you to create customized shortcuts for everyday tasks. Whether it's double-sided scanning, stapling, or sending documents to a specific destination, one-touch settings can make repetitive jobs easier.


2. Scan Directly to the Cloud

Skip the extra steps of scanning to your email, downloading a document, and uploading it somewhere else. Compatible Sharp multifunction printers can connect directly to platforms like Microsoft OneDrive, SharePoint, and Google Drive, helping your team access and organize files more efficiently.


3. Turn Scanned Documents into Searchable PDFs

Ever spent too much time searching for a document? Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology can convert scanned documents into searchable PDFs.

Instead of scrolling through pages, you can search for specific words or information, saving valuable time.


4. Scan Multiple Documents at Once

Have a stack of receipts, business cards, or small documents? With multi-crop scanning, compatible Sharp copiers can scan multiple items at once and save them as separate files.

It's a simple feature that can make a big difference when processing paperwork.


5. Preview and Edit Documents Before Sending

Avoid rescanning documents because of a simple mistake! Certain Sharp models allow you to preview scanned pages, rotate images, remove unwanted pages, and make adjustments directly from the touchscreen.


6. Simplify Your Office Workflows

Your copier can be more than a standalone machine. Sharp multifunction printers can integrate with compatible document management systems and business applications to help reduce manual tasks and keep information moving.

For Pittsburgh businesses looking to improve productivity, these capabilities can make everyday document management much easier.


7. Protect Your Business with Built-In Security Features

Did you know your copier is part of your business network?

Many Sharp devices offer security features such as user authentication, access controls, and device management capabilities to help protect sensitive information.

These features are especially valuable for businesses handling confidential customer, financial, or medical documents.
