1. Chapter 1 Introduction Welcome to Sharpdesk! This software offers you a complete, easy-to-use solution for organizing and working with your paper and electronic documents and images.

This User’s Guide describes the standard features of Sharpdesk. Sharpdesk also works with other Sharp products that might add new capabilities to Sharpdesk that are not included in this Guide. The details of these new capabilities are described in the literature that comes with the Sharp product that “links in” to Sharpdesk.

Overview Working with Sharpdesk, you can: • Scan Images and Documents Sharpdesk works with your scanner to let you read paper documents into your PC using all of the scanning controls and options provided with your TWAIN scanner or Sharp multi-functional peripheral (MFP) with the Network Scanner Tool option. Sharpdesk provides you with both “simple” scanning op\ tions as well as “advanced” options, giving you full control over scanning preferen\ ces. • Convert Images to Text Text images scanned into Sharpdesk can be converted into editable text for use with common word processors. Sharpdesk uses an advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engine that even preserves your document layouts. You can also convert an image containing text into a word processing format by s\ imply dragging it from any folder onto the Sharpdesk Output Zone. • Prepare Production Ready Documents Using Sharpdesk Composer, you can combine files of different types into a single production-ready document. For example, combine a Word® file with an Excel® file and then add in a Lotus® file. In general, any application that can send documents to a printer can contribute pages to a Composer document. Reorder pages as you want them to appear and then print the entire document into stapled sets, making a single trip to the printer to collect your new documents. • View Your Images Using Sharpdesk Imaging, viewing your stored images, scanned images, and digital camera images is quick and easy. • Distribute Your Documents Distribute documents by e-mail or print a hard copy as easily as dragging a file onto an icon on the Sharpdesk Output Zone. • Import/Export an Image or Document Import, store, and manage .BMP,.JPG, .PCX, or .TIF documents and images directly from Sharpdesk. • Advanced Search Capabilities Search for images and documents using a wide variety of search criteria including a single word, a phrase, or a list of words. Search for particular images or documents using a document path, image/document type, modified date, image/document size, a document’s property specifications, or Boolean operations “and”, “or”, “not”, or “near”. 2 Sharpdesk User’s Guide Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
