Maximize classroom learning, increase student engagement and improve staff performance.

Sharp multifunction document systems can help administrators streamline document processing and enhance collaboration in the classroom.

Automated Grading Allows More Time for Teaching

With Remark®, an automated grading solution from Sharp Partner Program member Gravic®, teachers can easily scan tests on a Sharp multifunction printer (MFP) and quickly review the results from their desktop.

Achieve Greater Flexibility with a Learning Management System

Students and teachers can collaborate and share content more efficiently using Sharp MFPs and BlackBoard Learn™, a virtual learning and course management system. With the available Sharp connector, students can scan and submit assignments using any Sharp MFP on campus.

Centrally Managed Printing Helps Lower Costs

Sharp, in coordination with our authorized resellers, offers easy-to-use print management solutions to help administrators lower their costs. Accounting systems such as PaperCut MF™ and Pharos® Uniprint® deliver seamless integration with Sharp document systems and can charge student accounts for print costs based on their login credentials.

Collaborate and Share Files with Popular Cloud Services

Easily share information with students and staff using popular services such as Microsoft® Teams, Dropbox, Google Drive™ and others.

Leading-Edge Security Helps Keep Your Files Safe

Multi-layered security features built into Sharp MFPs, such as system integrity check, real-time intrusion detection and available antivirus powered by Bitdefender help protect confidential information, and can also help meet and maintain regulatory compliance, such as HIPAA and FERPA.

Case Study
Macon County Schools

Business Challenges

Macon County Schools had a fleet of old, unreliable copiers and printers. The machines had inconsistent print quality, many service issues and it was difficult for the schools to keep track of print-related costs.

Technology Solutions

Sharp specialists conducted a print environment assessment across the 11 schools. The outdated fleet was refreshed to match output volume needs. The new devices were strategically placed to ensure best access for employees and the old print management software was replaced with Papercut™.
The solution included the following:
• 80 Sharp MFPs
• 53 Sharp printers
• Papercut™ print management software

Proven Results

After switching to Sharp, device uptime and productivity increased substantially. Due to Sharp’s reliable supply chain, service has never been faster. “I have received nothing but positive feedback from school members. I think the Sharp team did a really good job at getting the school staff trained,” said Tim Burrell, IT Director at Macon County Schools.
