    Well the reason is that about a week or so ago someone on here mentioned the scan tool lite as the easier way than conventional scan to folder. Just checking into it and trying to figure it out and see if it is any better or easier.

I dont know much of anything about the FTP/Desktop. What do I need to do to finnish setting this up? Thanks for any insight.

    I have found the Kyocera setup tool to be good with clients that have laptops that take them home and back to the office as it sets it up with the computer name as opposed to IP and have found it useful for this. Yes, I know I could setup an IP reservation on the router, but in my experience, setting up laptops that come and go, this tool has been pretty good and relatively quick.

    Sharpdesk and the network scanner tool (NST) is essentially an ftp server with a lot of window dressing.

    Once the NST has the file it could drop the file into a folder, attach to an outgoing email, OCR etc. Depending on the destination Sharpdesk would open for viewing the file or to manual process, email, ocr etc.

    NST Lite is just the FTP portion of Sharpdesk.


    For easy no fuss scanning I would recommend using
    Quick 'n Easy FTP Server Lite

    I'm really sorry Sharp MFPs are completely out of my expertise. I was talking in general.
    Please wait a bit for Sharp techs to come regarding special software/settings.

    This tool should have put the information for this scanning in the address book of the copier.

    Look under FTP scanning and then check the address book for the path to the folder.

    The network scanner lite tool used FTP scanning, not SMB.
