Sharp Middle East has launched the Open System Architecture (OSA) - Network Scanner Tool (NST) for its range of Multi Function Printers (MFP), the company said.

Sharp OSA automates document-related workflow.

It transforms the Sharp MFP into a hub for all existing applications - making document management systems, reporting functions, internally developed programs, and makes it much more  accessible directly from the touch-screen control panel, it said.

Gautam Chakrabarty, deputy general manager, marketing at Sharp Middle East, said: “The OSA-NST is the most recent of innovations, with the system tool decreasing turn-around times by boosting productivity through smart procedures, automating a greater part of the workflow.”

OSA-NST simplifies MFP usage for regular scanning and conversion of paper documents, providing benefits such as increasing efficiency and productivity, decreasing turn-around time for a job, help users create paper documents to be used in work flows, design and add customised profiles to reduce the manual steps in MFP operation, the company said. – TradeArabia News Service
