Multifunction Printers & Copiers

A multi-function printer (MFP) integrates print, copy, scan, and fax functions into a single device, improving office efficiency and reducing footprint. Modern MFPs often include network connectivity, mobile and cloud access, and advanced data security features such as 256-bit AES encryption and audit trail logging.

The best MFP depends on your print volume, color requirements, and security needs. Options range from high-speed 25-70 ppm color models to secure black & white units with Common Criteria certified data protection. A consultation with our team helps match the right device to your workflow and budget.

Purchasing gives you full ownership and long-term cost savings, leasing offers lower upfront costs with predictable monthly payments and upgrade flexibility, and renting suits short-term or temporary needs. Southern Office Machines offers all three options with tailored invoicing to match your budget and usage requirements.

Sharp MFPs use the Sharp Security Suite, featuring 256-bit AES encryption, up to 7-times data overwriting, and optional Common Criteria certified Data Security Kits. Features like access control, audit trails, fax line protection, and end-of-lease data erasure help organizations meet strict corporate and government compliance mandates.

Managed Print Services monitor your entire print fleet, automating meter readings, toner replenishment, and maintenance scheduling while tracking usage and costs. MPS is valuable for offices looking to reduce unmanaged printing expenses, which can exceed 3% of annual revenue, and to optimize device placement and performance.

Yes, Sharp MFPs support Cloud Portal Office integration, enabling document access, printing, and scanning from virtually any device or location.
