After following these instructions, your copier will print files attached to emails received by an email account you create specifically for this purpose. This is useful for users who need to print remotely to a Sharp device from outside the printer’s network or for users who do not have print drivers installed. You can print from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.

*DISCLAIMERS*

• Keep the email address you create for this purpose private. Once configured, your copier will print any and all attachments received by this email account.
• Your Sharp printer requires the PostScript option to print PDFs via Email Print. Some models include PostScript by default, while others require it as an optional upgrade. Certain models also support Word, Excel, PowerPoint, TIFF, and JPEG files.

This is a three-part process. Before you begin, you will need your machine’s IP address. Click here for instructions on how to print this information from your Sharp copier.
