Deleting a Scanner
To delete a scanner, select it from the Known Scanners list and then click the Delete button. When the confirmation message displays, click Yes.
Any active profiles residing on that scanner will be removed as part of the scanner delete process.
Enable/Disable a Scanner
You can enable or disable a scanner for scanning to your computer by checking or unchecking the box next to the scanner name.
Auto Detect
This option will cause the Network Scanner Tool to search the local subnet for Sharp scanners that are capable of network scanning. The local subnet consists of those IP addresses that have the first three segments in common. Any scanner that is found will be listed but not enabled. Once detected and listed, you need to check the ones you would like to use with the Network Scanner Tool.
Web Setup
Note: An administrator login might be required to use this feature.
This option lets you use a scanner’s web page to change its configuration values. These pages are accessible by selecting a scanner from the Known Scanners list and then clicking the Web Setup button. Adding or deleting profiles with the web page will not update the listing of profiles used by the Network Scanner Tool. Changing options from a scanner’s web page is not recommended.
After entering or updating information on the Scanners tab, click Apply to apply your updates and keep the Network Scanner Tool screen active. To apply your changes and close the screen, click OK. To close the screen without saving changes which may have been made, click Cancel.
System Options Tab
The Network Scanner Tool uses a modified FTP server that is controlled using the System Options tab. This tab lets you set the FTP port number for communications with your computer as well as FTP reads.
Note: The FTP service is automatically started when the Network Scanner Tool is started. You can use the Stop button to stop the service, and the Start button to restart it.
Security is provided using a unique port (rather than the standard FTP port number) and by allowing only receipt of files. The modified FTP server always uses an anonymous login so there is no risk of a user name or password being intercepted. Since FTP Get commands can be disabled, no other computer can read files that are sent to the modified FTP server.
