To use the machine as a printer and scanner for your computer, you
must install the software and connect a USB cable. The CD-ROM that
comes with the machine contains the following software:

• MFP Drivers: These consist of the printer driver that allows the

machine to be used as a printer, and the scanner driver that allows
you scan using TWAIN and WIA compliant applications.

• Sharpdesk: This is an integrated software environment that makes

it easy to manage image files and launch applications. (Note that
Internet Explorer

®

 5.5 or higher is required to install Sharpdesk; if

this is not installed, you will be prompted during the installation pro-
cedure to install Internet Explorer

®

 6.0SP1 from the CD-ROM.)

• Button Manager: This allows you to initiate scanning from the

operation panel of the machine by selecting one of six preset scan
menus.

• USB 2.0 Hi-Speed is only possible if your computer has a USB 2.0

port and you are using a USB 2.0 cable. In addition, the Microsoft
USB 2.0 driver must be preinstalled in your computer, or the USB
2.0 driver for Windows

is required. In addition, at least 600MB or more of free hard disk
space is required on the drive where your operating system is
installed. In Windows

 Me, it is not possible to scan an A4 size

document at 1200 dpi in full color or grayscale (a lower resolution
or a smaller scanning area must be selected).
