BEFORE USING THE NETWORK SCANNER FUNCTION

Storing destinations for Scan to Desktop

The destination for Scan to Desktop is stored by the Sharp Network Scanner Tool Setup Wizard when "Network Scanner Tool" is installed in your computer. For this reason, there is no need to store the Scan to Desktop destination in the Web page. (The Network Scanner Tool is on the "Sharpdesk" CD-ROM that accompanies the Network Expansion Kit.)

For information on Scan to Desktop system requirements, installing the Network Scanner Tool, and storing the destination, see the "SHARPDESK CD-ROM (for Windows)" (p.25).

Normally your computer is stored as the destination by the method indicated above.

The following page for storing Scan to Desktop destination information appears when [Destination] is selected in the menu frame, followed by [Desktop]. This page is used mainly by the system administrator in the following circumstance.

When another machine that also has the network expansion kit is added to your network and you wish to send an image scanned on the new machine to a destination stored on the existing machine.

See "Editing and deleting programmed transmission destinations" (p.12) to select the Scan to Desktop destination information that you wish to use on the new machine and enter the displayed information in this screen in the new machine. (When you have completed all entries, click [Submit].)

If there are several destinations that you wish to use on the new machine, repeat this procedure as needed.

If the information entered here differs from the information entered on the host computer, transmission/reception will not be possible.

For the settings, see the following table.
