Installing the Software

To use the machine as a printer and scanner for your computer, you must install the software and connect a USB cable.The CD-ROM that comes with the machine contains the following software:

MFP Drivers: These consist of the printer driver that allows the machine to be used as a printer, and the scanner driver that allows you to scan using TWAIN and WIA compliant applications.

Sharpdesk: This is an integrated software environment that makes it easy

to manage image files and launch applications. (Note that Internet Explorer5.5 or higher is required to install Sharpdesk; if this is not

installed, you will be prompted during the installation procedure to install Internet Explorer6.0SP1 from the CD-ROM.)

Button Manager: This allows you to initiate scanning from the operation panel of the machine by selecting one of six preset scan menus.
