SOFTWARE

CD-ROMS AND SOFTWARE

The software that can be used with the machine is on the CD-ROMs that accompany the machine and the expansion kits. Before installing the software, make sure that your computer and the machine meet the system requirements described in "VERIFYING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS" (page 5).

SOFTWARE CD-ROM

The "Software CD-ROM" that accompanies the machine contains the printer driver and other software. The "Software CD-ROM" consists of 2 discs.

For users of Windows 98/Me/NT 4.0

The CD-ROM does not include software for Windows 98/Me/NT 4.0. Contact your dealer or nearest SHARP Service Department if you want software for Windows 98/Me/NT 4.0.

Disc 1 Software for Windows

• Printer driver These allow the machine to be used as a printer.

- PCL6 and PCL5c printer driver The machine supports the Hewlett-Packard PCL6 and PCL5c printer control languages. It is recommended that you use the PCL6 printer driver. If you have a problem printing from older software using the PCL6 printer driver, use the PCL5c printer driver.

- PS printer driver The PS printer driver supports the PostScript 3 page description language developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated.

CD-ROMS AND SOFTWARE

- PPD driver The PPD driver enables the machine to use the standard Windows PS printer driver.

☞ WHEN THE MACHINE IS CONNECTED TO A NETWORK (page 10) ☞ WHEN THE MACHINE WILL BE CONNECTED WITH A USB CABLE

(page 22)

• Printer Status Monitor (can only be used when the machine is

connected to a network)

This allows you to monitor the status of the machine on your computer screen.

☞ INSTALLING THE PRINTER STATUS MONITOR (page 40)

Disc 2 Software for Windows

• PC-Fax driver This enables you to send a file from your computer as a fax using the same procedure as when printing the file. (When the fax option is installed.) Even if the fax function is not installed, the PC-Fax driver can be updated using the CD-ROM in the Internet fax expansion kit to enable you to send a file from your computer as an Internet fax in the same way as you print a file.

☞ INSTALLING THE PRINTER DRIVER / PC-FAX DRIVER (page 10)

The following software can be used only when the machine is connected to a network.

• Scanner driver (TWAIN driver) This allows you to use the scanner function of the machine from a TWAIN-compliant software application.

☞ INSTALLING THE SCANNER DRIVER (page 42)

• Printer Administration Utility This allows the administrator to monitor the machine and configure machine settings from a computer. To install and use the Printer Administration Utility, see the Readme file and the manual in PDF format on the "Software CD-ROM" (Disc 2). The Readme file and manual are in the following folder on the CD-ROM. (Substitute the letter of your CD-ROM drive for "R" in the following path.)

R:\Sadmin\Documents\EnglishA

CD-ROMS AND SOFTWARE

Software for Macintosh

• PPD file This is the printer description file which enables the machine to be used as a PostScript 3 compatible printer.

☞ MAC OS X (page 48) ☞ MAC OS 9.0 - 9.2.2 (page 58)

• To use the machine as a printer in a Macintosh environment, the machine must be connected to a network. A USB connection cannot be used.

• The scanner driver and PC-Fax driver cannot be used in a Macintosh environment.

OTHER CD-ROMS

"PRINTER UTILITIES" CD-ROM that accompanies the Internet fax expansion kit (for Windows)

This CD-ROM is used to update the PC-Fax driver on the "Software CD-ROM" so that it can be used to send Internet faxes (PC-I-Fax function). If you wish to use the PC-I-Fax function, first install the PC-Fax driver from the "Software CD-ROM" and then run the installer on this CD-ROM. If the PC-Fax driver is already installed, run only the installer. (There is no need to reinstall the PC-Fax driver.)

☞INSTALLING THE PRINTER DRIVER / PC-FAX DRIVER (page 10)

"Sharpdesk/Network Scanner Utilities" CD-ROM (for Windows)

This contains software that helps you get the most out of the images that you scan on the machine. The software includes "Sharpdesk", a desktop document management application that enables integrated management of scanned images and files created using a variety of applications. To use the "Scan to Desktop" scanner function, the "Network Scanner Tool" must be installed from the CD-ROM. For the system requirements of the software, see the manual (PDF format) in the "Manual" folder or the Readme file on the CD-ROM. For the procedures for installing the software, see the "Sharpdesk Installation Guide".

CONNECTING THE MACHINE

CONNECTING TO A NETWORK

To connect the machine to a network, connect the LAN cable to the machine's network connector. Use a shielded LAN cable.

After connecting the machine to a network, be sure to configure the IP address and other network settings before installing the software. (The factory default setting for the IP address is to receive the IP address automatically when the machine is used in a DHCP environment.) Network settings can be configured using "Network Settings" in the system settings (administrator) on the machine.

•

If the machine is used in a DHCP environment, the IP address of the machine may change. If this happens, printing will not be possible. This problem can be avoided by using a WINS server or by assigning a permanent IP address to the machine.

• This manual explains how to set up the software in a Windows network environment and in a Macintosh network environment.

X Checking the IP address of the machine

You can check the IP address of the machine by printing out the "All Custom Setting List" in the system settings. Follow these steps to print out the "All Custom Setting List". Press the [SYSTEM SETTINGS] key, touch the [List Print (User)] key, and then touch the [Print] key of "All Custom Setting List".

CONNECTING THE MACHINE WITH A USB CABLE (Windows)

The machine can be connected to a computer using a USB cable if the computer is a Windows computer. (The USB interface on the machine cannot be used in a Macintosh environment.) The machine and computer should be connected while the printer driver is being installed. If a USB cable is connected before the printer driver is installed, the printer driver will not be installed correctly. For the procedure for connecting a USB cable, see "WHEN THE MACHINE WILL BE CONNECTED WITH A USB CABLE" (page 22).

This section explains how to install the software and configure settings so that the printer and scanner function of the machine can be used with a Windows computer.
