The scanner driver for this unit includes an STI (Still image) driver and WIA 
(Windows Image Acquisition) driver. You can install software that supports the STI 
driver and WIA driver to enable scanning using the operation panel of the unit.

The Button Manager accessory software supports the STI driver and WIA driver. Setup 
that is required in Windows to use the Button Manager is explained in the following.

Click the "Select an event" button and select "ScanMenu SC2" from the pull-
down menu. Select "Button Manager (SHARP Personal MFP series)" in 
"Start this program" and click "Apply". Do the same for each ScanMenu 
through "ScanMenu SC6".
When the settings have been completed, click the "OK" button to close the 
screen. When the settings have been completed in Windows, start the 
Button Manager. Adjust detailed settings and then scan an image from the 
unit. For the procedures for starting Button Manager and adjusting settings, 
see "Scan Parameter Settings Dialog Box" (p.37).

To scan directly into an application using the Button Manager on Windows 98, 
Windows Me and Windows 2000. Set the Event Manager properties to send only to 
Button Manager as shown below.

In Windows Me, right click "AL-xxxx" (where "xxxx" is model name of your 
unit) and click "Properties" in the menu that appears.

Click the "Scanner events" and select "ScanMenu SC2" from the pull-down 
menu. Select "Button Manager (SHARP Personal MFP series)" in "Start this 
program" and click "Apply". Do the same for each ScanMenu through 
"ScanMenu SC6".
When the settings have been completed, click the "OK" button to close the 
screen. When the settings have been completed in Windows, start the 
Button Manager. Adjust detailed settings and then scan an image from the 
unit. For the procedures for starting Button Manager and adjusting settings, 
see "Scan Parameter Settings Dialog Box" (Next page).

After you have completed the Button Manager settings in 
Windows, configure the scan settings in Button Manager. 
To configure the scan settings in Button Manager, right click 
the (

) icon in the Taskbar and select "Setting" from the 

menu that appears. 
For details on configuring the scan settings in Button 
Manager, see the online manual or the help file.

This is the corresponding setting in the Button 
Manager to automatically send multiple images 
from the SPF in full colour at 75 dpi to 
Sharpdesk using the operation panel "SC1" 
SCANNER (

) key selection.

The Button Manager can directly handle a AL-xxxx (where xxxx is the model name of 
your unit) series device event and start your selected application according to the 
scan setting made on the AL-xxxx (where xxxx is the model name of your unit) front 
panel (SC1, SC2, SC3, SC4, SC5, SC6).
This will scan directly into your application from the device.

The settings for the Windows Event Manager for 
the SHARP AL-xxxx (where xxxx is the model 
name of your unit) device allow the user to take 
advantage of the Sharp Button Manager to take 
control of events from Windows and send 
scanned images to any application that can be 
selected in Button Manager.
This can be done with the Windows OS showing 
the Event Manager selection dialog or directly 
into a selected application if the Button Manager 
is the only allowed handler for device events 
from the SHARP AL-xxxx (where xxxx is the 
model name of your unit).
This is done by changing the Windows device 
settings for the AL-xxxx (where xxxx is the model 
name of your unit) in the Scanner and Camera 
device settings in the Control Panel.

Windows Platforms provide a mechanism for software to handle external events for 
a scanner device like the SHARP AL-xxxx (where xxxx is the model name of your 
unit) series products. This mechanism is controlled by the device manager on a 
device basis. Applications that can handle events from a scanner/camera device 
register with the Windows Event Manager and shown as available in the registered 
applications. The path an event takes to get to the user's selected application 
depends upon the event settings for the device.

This is the Control Panel
Properties dialog for "Scanners and
Cameras".
