Built for today’s workstyles, the BP-51C26 Essential 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-51C26 complies with energy regulations and supports environmental objectives.
A smart design with effortless operation that helps drive efficiency!
Sharp has applied its advanced Eco Technologies throughout 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.
Sharp MFD’s have multiple levels of security to keep the device—and your precious data—secure. Upon boot, the MFD checks for 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.
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.
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.
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.
With optional 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.
The optional BPFD10 folding unit automates various types of folds, such as Z-fold and C-fold, for efficient production of direct mail and other items. When installed with the BPFN16 saddle finisher, you can even staple Z-fold documents as well.
