What is a Fiery Rip ?
 A Rip is a device which can be installed or embedded onto a printer such as a Canon networked copier / printer or an external processor which is connected to the printer via a cable. The Rip or Raster Image Processor interprets the printer data and converts it to a raster image which is used by the printer to form the document.
Canon partnered with EFI - Electronics For Imaging - when the first colour copiers were brought to the market in the 1980”s. Their productivity and reliability are now well proven.
Increase Productivity
When you hit File : Print you send printer control information about your document to the printer, the Rip receives it and processes the data independently. By using its own computing hardware and dedicated image processing components the Rip takes control of the job without loading your PC or the printer which has the effect of hugely speeding up the print output time.
This massive increase in productivity is especially noticeable when printing complex print jobs, postscript files, and colour prints as the processing load for this kind of work is usually quite heavy.
Postscript Printing
When printing postscript files you will want to ensure that the document that comes out of the printer is as you intended, using the correct fonts etc. By using a Fiery Rip you can be confident that your documents will print correctly. Without a Rip, font substitution may occur using a close match, but this can lead to unexpected results. As well as being a market leading processor the Fiery Rip is a comprehensive print controller with a vast suite of additional functionality. These extra features contribute to make the Rip a natural choice for graphic design, light volume and even high production environments.
Comand Workstation
Fiery Command workstation is the primary software package within which print jobs are monitored and controlled. Documents can be stored on the Rip after processing and reprinted directly from the Rip , therefore avoiding the need to resend over the network and consume network bandwidth. Different documents can also be combined together even if they are of a different file type, and individual pages can be moved within the this new file to create a new document. This new document can then be printed using the full finishing capabilities of the Canon machine.
Precise colour control is vital in today's demanding colour printing market and the Fiery Rips handle this aspect perfectly. The Spot On colour tool provides superior colour matching capabilities, and substitute colours can be set up to be printed to your precise specifications. This is important when logos and company colours need to be reproduced to exactly match corporate guidelines
What is MEAP and how can it help me?
 MEAP (multi-functional embedded application platform) is a lightweight java virtual machine embedded in a supported Canon photocopier. All copiers except those in the Monochrome low volume page support this technology. MEAP applications are written in J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition).
 Business is changing on a daily basis. In today's climate your networked photocopier can be at the heart of the business process. With MEAP your in house development teams can devise digital imaging solutions for your photocopier.

SHARP DATA SECURITY KITS

SHARP SECURITY NETWORK INTERFACE
Today's office environments utilize the convenience of networked equipment. However that convenience, often comes with a risk. That unauthorized users, or even hackers, might be able to, access the network, retrieve data from it or alter settings. In fact even if data cannot be retrieved, viewing the configuration settings alone often gives sufficient network information for a hacker to be able to mount a serious "denial of service" attack on the main network servers.

SHARP SECURITY SUITE
The MFP is the natural link between information and the way people use it, which is why Sharp has pioneered security in office equipment to proactively protecting against the mishandling of information. Multi-function printers (MFPs) tend to see a good deal of highly sensitive information pass their way: executive memos, financial reports, and draft of all kinds of internal documents.
