The Sharpdesk Output Zone
The Sharpdesk Output Zone lets you perform functions by simply dragging and dropping a
selected file to the appropriate Output Zone button. You can also highlight a file and click the
desired Output Zone button. To change the destination of an Output Zone button, click the “down
arrow” to its right and select another choice from the drop-down menu that appears.
Output Zone
The Output Zone, when enabled, appears at the right of the Sharpdesk Work Area. The Print, Fax,
and eMail buttons appear if your computer has the supporting software installed. For instance, if
you do not have a Fax driver (‘fax’ somewhere in its name) installed the Fax button will not
appear. The same is true for the eMail button if your computer does not have a MAPI-compliant
email client installed:
