AS A NETWORK SCANNER
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
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
