This chapter provides information that you should know before using the machine as a network scanner.

NETWORK SCANNER FUNCTION

The network scanner function of the machine can be used to scan an original, create an image file, and send the file over a network to a computer, FTP server, or other destination. Scanning is also possible from your computer using a TWAIN-compliant application.

The network scanner function provides the following scanning modes.

Scan modes

SENDING AN IMAGE IN SCAN MODE (page 28)

Scan to E-mail

The scanned file is sent to an e-mail address.

Scan to FTP

The scanned file is sent to a specified directory of an FTP server.

When the file is sent, it is also possible to send an e-mail to a previously stored e-mail address to inform the recipient of the location of the file. (This is called "Scan to FTP (Hyperlink)".)

Scan to Desktop

The scanned file is sent to a specified folder on your computer.

To use Scan to Desktop, software must be installed from the "Sharpdesk/Network Scanner Utilities" CD-ROM that accompanies the machine. For the system requirements of the software, see the manual (PDF format) or the Readme file on the CD-ROM. For the procedures for installing the software, see the "Sharpdesk Installation Guide".

Scan to Network Folder

The scanned file is sent to a shared folder on a Windows computer on the same network as the machine.

Transmission is possible to computers running the following operating systems: Windows 98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003
