Sharpdesk Information Guide

Sharpdesk CD-ROM
(for Windows)
The CD-ROM contains the following software programs:
Sharpdesk (Desktop Document Management
Software)
Sharpdesk lets you manage a variety of electronic information such as
scanned image data from the machine or documents created using
word processing or spreadsheet application software.
A color image scanned on the machine can be saved as a PDF file
using a high compression ratio to reduce the file size. (To view a PDF
file saved using a high compression ratio, the latest version of Adobe
Reader is required.)
* Sharpdesk can only be installed on the number of computers
indicated in "Sharpdesk Serial Numbers" on the cover of this manual.
If you need to install Sharpdesk on additional computers, please
purchase the optional license kit.
(If the version of the software on the CD-ROM in the license kit is
different from the version of the software on the CD-ROM that
accompanies the machine, it is recommended that you use the
newest version of the software.)
Network Scanner Tool
This is a utility that helps you use Scan to Desktop. It configures the
necessary settings in the machine and client computer to receive data.
In addition, Network Scanner Tool will automatically start Sharpdesk
upon receiving image data.
SHARP TWAIN AR/DM
This is a driver that allows you to use the scanning function of the
machine from a software application that supports the TWAIN standard.
(Images can only be scanned in monochrome.)
* SHARP TWAIN AR/DM cannot be used in Windows Vista.

Points to note when installing the software
Note the following when installing the software program from the CDROM:
● Be sure to check the system requirements for installation of each of
the software programs in the user's guides and on the Information
screen during installation.
● The user's guides give detailed instructions for installing and setting
up the programs. Be sure to read the user's guides before installing
the programs. In particular, if you are going to use Network Scanner
Tool, be sure to carefully read the instructions regarding network
preparation and setup procedures before installing the program. The
network administrator should verify that network preparation has been
carried out correctly.
● If you are going to send an original scanned with the machine to a
computer (Scan to Desktop), Network Scanner Tool must be installed.
● If you perform a standard installation of Sharpdesk (select "Typical" in
the Setup Type selection screen), Network Scanner Tool will be also
be installed, alternatively you can also select "Custom" installation
and install only Network Scanner Tool.
● If you intend to install SHARP TWAIN AR/DM, install Network
Scanner Tool first. SHARP TWAIN AR/DM cannot be installed alone.
● The contents of the Information screens that appear during
installation can also be found in the ReadMe files on the same CDROM. The ReadMe file for Sharpdesk is located in the root folder of
the CD-ROM, and the ReadMe file for SHARP TWAIN AR/DM is
located in the Twain folder.
Sharpdesk Imaging*
Sharpdesk Imaging is installed together with Sharpdesk.
● If Eastman Software's "Imaging for Windows Professional Edition"
has already been installed on your computer, Sharpdesk Imaging will
not be installed.
● "Imaging for Windows Professional Edition" and Sharpdesk Imaging
use common registry entries, and installing "Imaging for Windows
Professional Edition" after Sharpdesk Imaging has been installed may
result in abnormal operation. In this case, uninstall Sharpdesk and
Sharpdesk Imaging, and then install "Imaging for Windows
Professional Edition". After that, reinstall Sharpdesk.
* Sharpdesk Imaging is a version of Eastman Software's Imaging for
Windows Professional Edition that has been customized by the
Sharp Corporation.

Sharpdesk desktop folder will not be deleted when Sharpdesk is
uninstalled.
