Chapter 3

Advanced Configuration Settings in the Sharp DataFlow

The RightFax MFP Module includes a software component called the External Document Connector which is designed to act as a communication link between RightFax servers and several supported types of document-based hardware and software systems. All of the configuration settings for the RightFax MFP Module Sharp Extension described in this chapter are made in the External Document Connector. For a general overview of the External Document Connector component of the RightFax MFP Module, see Appendix A, “Understanding the External Document Connector”).

Although the External Document Connector supports extensions for several types of hardware- and software-based document products, this guide and all of the configuration settings it discusses are specific to integrating RightFax with Sharp MFPs only.

Tip The External Document Connector has many configuration settings, only a few of which are required to enable the Sharp Extension. This chapter describes only the required configuration settings for the most commonly used features. Some advanced settings in the External Document Connector which are not discussed in this guide are used mainly for troubleshooting and support purposes and do not apply to normal operation of the RightFax MFP Module. To read a description of any option, including the advanced options not discussed here, click the

[?]icon displayed in the title bar of each dialog box, and then click the option you want described.

Configure the Sharp MFP Module Settings

After the Sharp MFP module has been installed and configured in the External Document Connector (described in Chapter 1, “Installing the RightFax MFP Module”), Sharp documents should begin being processed by the RightFax server. However, if you need to change one or more configuration settings after installation, you can access all of the Sharp MFP Module’s configuration options throught the EDC Monitor.
