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

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-
