Sharp AR-M257 PCL6 Driver & Software and Utilities Download for Mac, Windows and Toner Cartridges, Multifunction Copier Reviews – Sharp AR-M257 Digital IMAGER be able to raise office productivity to a whole new level. With advanced versatility, the AR-M257 Digital Imager MFPs deliver everything a business needs to get ahead, offering 25-ppm copy & print speeds, convenient networking, and integrated multifunction capabilities. These new Workgroup MFPs are ideal for busy departments & workgroups. Standard features include a 100-sheet reversing document feeder, duplexing, 1,200-dpi laser output, and a large 8.1″ touch screen LCD display that makes operation easy and intuitive. The Sharp AR-M257 Digital IMAGERs are feature-packed MFPs designed to deliver reliable & versatile performance to enhance customer’s workflow. 
With a large 8.1 inch touch screen and features such as an ID card shot function, the Sharp AR-M257 is certainly equipped with all the bells and whistles one would expect in a current document processing machine. The unit’s overall performance speeds leave a little to be desired, but, overall, the unit is solid throughout.
While the Sharp AR-M257 is, at heart, a copy machine, it is also capable of executing PC prints and, with an optional Super G3 Fax package, sending and receiving faxes over the phone line. The unit is built to handle large format paper sized up to 11 x 17 inches, though printing to this speed will reduce the already mediocre print speed down to 13 pages or copies per minute.
The device’s print speed is marginally slow, but its first copy out time of only 4.8 seconds is outstanding. Possibly even more impressive is the unit’s warm up time of only 23 seconds. While many printers in the same vein as the Sharp AR-M257 take between one and two minutes to warm up, Sharp’s cutting edge technology significantly reduces this time.
With a 100 sheet automatic document feeder, the Sharp AR-M257 is already positioned to impress when it comes to loading input material, but it doesn’t stop there. The unit is equipped with a reversing feeder that has single pass technology. This means that the scanner can absorb data from both sides of a page at one time. Double sided input material will take no longer to scan or input for copies than single sided pages.
Paper storage is sufficient for this device and consists of two full ream sized 500 sheet paper trays that are accompanied by a 100 sheet manual bypass tray. The standard trays work only with paper up to 21 lbs in thickness, while the bypass tray can be used to load multiple envelopes, transparencies, and even some card stock into the machine. Optional paper storage accessories include a 500 sheet paper feed unit and a 1000 sheet (500 x 2) unit that could certainly help to cut back on refill requirements.
The Sharp AR-M257’s overall print and copy speed is right on the fence between being acceptable and just plain too slow. At 25 pages per minute for both standard PC printing and stand alone copying, the device is a little behind the times when it comes to the area of raw performance. Users do have the option of purchasing the device’s sister unit, the Sharp AR-M317, that can pull off 31 letter sized copies per minute and 17 oversized copies per minute, but this boost in speed also comes with an increase in price.
The device’s scan resolution is absolutely atrocious. The unit’s 400 x 400 dot per inch optical scan resolution is something that would be better suited for a ten year old fax machine than a medium sized copy machine. The unit up-scales copy resolution to 600 x 600 dots per inch, but quality will still be lost due to the optical scan resolution.
