Chapter 3
Installing the Network
Scanner Tool
Introduction
The Network Scanner Tool software can be installed using two methods during the
Sharpdesk installation process – a “typical” setup which installs the most common options, or
a “custom” setup where you select the options you want to install. When installing
Sharpdesk, if you select a “typical” installation, Sharpdesk automatically installs and sets up
the Network Scanner Tool software.
The Network Scanner Tool also locates and configures all Sharp scanners on the network and
then adds a Sharpdesk host that lets you store scanned images that are received by your
computer from a networked scanner. In addition, the Sharpdesk installation creates a
Network Scanner Tool entry in the Start/Program menu on your computer’s desktop. The
first time the Network Scanner Tool is run after installation, Sharp’s Network Scanner Tool
Setup Wizard guides you through the Network Scanner Tool setup and configuration process.
The Network Scanner Tool must be installed on each computer that will be used to receive
scanned images from a Sharp network-scanning enabled scanner.
