How To Print on Sharp Copiers with ARM-Based Operating Systems
In recent years, the tech world has witnessed a significant shift towards ARM-based processors, and Microsoft Surface devices are at the forefront of this transformation. ARM-based Surface devices, such as the Surface Pro (11th Edition) and Surface Laptop (7th Edition), are redefining performance, efficiency, and compatibility in the realm of personal computing. Unfortunately they do not play well with a lot of name brand multi-function printers, including our Sharps. You’ll find that installing a regular PCL or PS driver will not work due to lack of compatibility with ARM.
SOLVED: Sharp Universal Driver (UD3) to the Rescue
You’ll need to use Sharp’s Universal Driver to print on ARM-based operating systems. It can be downloaded from their official website, or you can download it from the link below:

Why ARM?
ARM processors are renowned for their power efficiency and performance. Unlike traditional x86 processors, ARM chips are designed to deliver high performance with lower power consumption, making them ideal for mobile and portable devices. This efficiency translates to longer battery life, which is a crucial factor for users who are always on the go.
