The Pcounter OSA solution makes it possible to get customized solutions for Sharp Multi Function Printer (MFP), and integration with existing IT infrastructure.

To utilize the embedded software terminal, the Sharp machines need support for Sharp OSA and the Sharp External Accounting Module will need to be enabled. Request information from your local Sharp dealer on available OSA machines.
