Contents
☞ SENDING AN IMAGE IN USB MEMORY MODE (page 5-35)
USB Memory Scan
The scanned file is sent to and stored in a USB memory device connected to the machine.
To use the Internet fax function, the Internet fax expansion kit must be installed.
☞ SENDING A FAX IN INTERNET FAX MODE (page 5-41)
Internet fax transmission
The scanned file is sent as an Internet fax. Reception of Internet faxes is also possible.
The machine supports Direct SMTP, which lets you directly send Internet faxes within your 
company without using a mail server.
☞ SCANNING FROM A COMPUTER (PC Scan Mode) (page 5-119)
PC Scan
A TWAIN-compliant application on a computer connected to the same network as the 
machine is used to scan a document or image.
To use PC Scan, the scanner driver must be installed from the Software CD-ROM that 
accompanies the machine.
Operating systems that can be used are Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista/
Server 2008.
The application integration module is required to use the metadata transmission function.
☞ METADATA DELIVERY (page 5-124)
Metadata delivery
The application integration module can be combined with the network scanner function to append a metadata* file to a 
scanned image file. (This is called metadata delivery.)
Information entered using the touch panel or automatically generated by the machine can be sent to a directory on an 
FTP server or an application on a computer as a metadata file in XML format.
* Metadata is information about a file, how it is to be processed, and its relation to other objects.

STORING DESTINATION ADDRESSES FOR EACH 
SCAN MODE IN THE ADDRESS BOOK
To use Scan to FTP or Scan to Desktop, the destination must be stored in the address book. For Scan to E-mail, 
Internet Fax, and Scan to Network Folder, the destination can be directly entered or looked up in a global address book 
at the time of transmission, however, the procedure is simpler when the destination is stored in the address book. Store 
each type of destination as explained below.

[Address Type] and store an address.
 Scan to Network Folder: Click [Address Book] in the Web page menu and then click the [Add] button. Select [Network 
Folder] in [Address Type] and store an address.
 Scan to E-mail: Click [Address Book] in the Web page menu and then click the [Add] button. Select [E-mail] 
in [Address Type] and store an address. Addresses can also be stored in the system 
settings.

destinations can also be stored in the Web pages. Click [Address Book] in the Web page 
menu and then click the [Add] button. Select [Desktop] in [Address Type] and store an 
address.
Transmission in Internet fax mode:
Click [Address Book] in the Web page menu and then click the [Add] button. Select [Internet 
Fax] or [Direct SMTP] for the [Address Type], and store the address. Addresses can also be 
stored in the system settings.
A total of 999 addresses can be stored. Among these, a combined maximum of 200 Scan to Network Folder, Scan to FTP, 
and Scan to Desktop addresses can be stored.
System Settings: Address Book (page 7-16)
This is used to store destination addresses for Scan to E-mail and Internet fax.

STORING A DESTINATION FOR SCAN TO DESKTOP
To store your computer in the machine as a destination for Scan to Desktop, Network Scanner Tool must be installed 
from the Sharpdesk/Network Scanner Utilities CD-ROM that accompanies the machine. To scan an image to your 
computer, Network Scanner Tool must be running on your computer.
INSTALLING NETWORK SCANNER TOOL
To install Network Scanner Tool, see the Sharpdesk Installation Guide that accompanies the machine. When a 
standard installation is performed, Network Scanner Tool is installed with Sharpdesk.
When you restart your computer after installing Network Scanner Tool, the Setup Wizard will start automatically. Follow 
this wizard to set up Network Scanner Tool. This will store your computer in the machine as a destination for Scan to 
Desktop. The stored destination will be displayed as a one-touch key in the address book screen.
The following window appears while Network Scanner Tool is being set up. The item selected in My Profiles (C) will be 
the name of the one-touch key.
The profile name is determined by the combination of the text entered in Prefix (A) and the profile*.
The one-touch key is assigned to an index tab in the address book screen based on the text entered in Initial (B).
* This defines how an image sent to your computer is processed. For more information, see profile explanation (D).
ADDING DESTINATIONS
For the number of computers that can be stored in the machine as destinations of Scan to Desktop, see the number of 
licences indicated in the Sharpdesk Installation Guide. To store more destinations, a licence kit is required. Store Scan 
to Desktop destinations by installing Network Scanner Tool on each computer.

BEFORE SENDING TO A DIRECT SMTP ADDRESS
The machine supports Direct SMTP, which lets you directly send Internet faxes within your company without using a 
mail server. For the procedure for storing a Direct SMTP address in the address book, see STORING DESTINATION 
ADDRESSES FOR EACH SCAN MODE IN THE ADDRESS BOOK (page 5-6). Stored Direct SMTP addresses are 
included in the address book for Internet fax mode. 
If the destination is busy
If the destination is busy, the machine will wait briefly and then automatically resend.
When a communication error occurs
If a communication error occurs or the other fax machine does not answer the call within a preset period of time, 
transmission will be re-attempted automatically after a preset interval. 
To cancel transmission...
Cancel the transmission from the job status screen.
