How To: My Folder Print

Sharp has added a new feature called My Folder Print to their latest series of copier, with model numbers that have a 51 or 71 in the number. It allows the Sharp copier to store print jobs sent to the machine in a place that is simple to retrieve and release. The Sharp My Folder feature will cut down on waste by requiring users to release their jobs at the touch-screen rather than printing them and letting them sit on the output until they go get the print, or not! It does not work in conjunction with User Control, it is a separate feature.

Why Setup Sharp My Folder Print?

• Cut down on printing waste – printing consumables and paper
• No print driver settings required
• Confidential documents can be protected and released on-demand
• Simple setup, no user codes or passwords required
• Folders can be password-protected if the user chooses
