CHECKING THE ACTIVITY LOG
(Image Sending Activity Report)
IMAGE SENDING ACTIVITY REPORT
You can have the machine print a log of recent image sending activity (date, name of other party, time required, result, 
etc.). The Image Sending Activity Report contains useful information such as the types of errors that occurred.
The most recent 200 transactions are included in the report.
You can have the machine print the Image Sending Activity Report each time the number of transactions reaches 201, 
or at a specified time (once a day only).
The contents of the Image Sending Activity Report are erased when the report is printed, and thus it cannot be reprinted.
System Settings (Administrator): Activity Report Print Select Setting
This is used to set the conditions for printing activity reports. The factory default setting is not to print.
The Image Sending Activity Report can be set to print each time the number of transactions reaches 201, or at a specified 
time (once a day only).

SCANNER/INTERNET FAX
Contents
This section provides information that you should know before using the machine as a network scanner.
NETWORK SCANNER FUNCTION
The network scanner function of the machine can be used to scan an original, create an image file, and send the file 
over a network to a computer, FTP server, or other destination. Scanning is also possible from your computer using a 
TWAIN-compliant application.
The network scanner function provides the following scanning modes.
☞ SENDING AN IMAGE IN SCAN MODE (page 5-28)
Scan to E-mail
The scanned file is sent to an e-mail address.
Scan to FTP
The scanned file is sent to a specified directory of an FTP server.
When the file is sent, it is also possible to send an e-mail to a previously stored e-mail 
address to inform the recipient of the location of the file. (This is called Scan to FTP 
(Hyperlink).)
Scan to Desktop
The scanned file is sent to a specified folder on your computer.
To use Scan to Desktop, software must be installed from the Sharpdesk/Network Scanner 
Utilities CD-ROM that accompanies the machine. For the system requirements of the 
software, see the manual (PDF format) or the Readme file on the CD-ROM. For the 
procedures for installing the software, see the Sharpdesk Installation Guide.
Scan to Network Folder
The scanned file is sent to a network folder on a Windows computer on the same network as 
the machine.
