This chapter provides basic information that is necessary to use 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.
*1 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)".)
*2 To use Scan to Desktop, software must be installed from the "Sharpdesk/Network Scanner Utilities" CD-ROM that
accompanies the machine (or that accompanies the network scanner expansion kit when the MX-2300G/2700G is
used). For the procedures for installing the software, see the "Sharpdesk Installation Guide".
*3 Transmission is possible to computers running the following operating systems: Windows 98/NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003
*4 The scanner driver must be installed from the "Software CD-ROM" provided with the machine. Operating systems that can
be used are Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/Server 2003.
