3Enter names for groups 1 to 6.
Six group indexes are available, and a name up

The names USER 1 to USER 6 are initially 
entered. Change the names as needed.
4When you have completed all of the 
entries, click Submit.
The entries will be stored.
 To change a previously programmed custom index name, simply overwrite the old name.
 To switch between the ABC index and the custom indexes in the Address book screen, see page 19.Note

Storing destinations for Scan to Desktop
The destination for Scan to Desktop is stored by the Sharp Network Scanner Tool Setup Wizard when Network 
Scanner Tool is installed in your computer. For this reason, there is no need to store the Scan to Desktop 
destination in the Web page. (The Network Scanner Tool is on the CD-ROM that accompanied the Network Scanner 
Expansion Kit .)
For information on Scan to Desktop system requirements, installing the Network Scanner Tool, and storing the 
destination, see the Users Guide for the Network Scanner Tool on the CD-ROM that accompanies the network 
scanner expansion kit.
Normally your computer is stored as the destination by the method indicated above.
The following page for storing Scan to Desktop destination information appears when Destination is selected in the 
menu frame, followed by Desktop. This page is used by mainly by the system administrator in the following 
circumstance.
 When another machine with the network scanner function has been added to the same network, and you wish to 
perform Scan to Desktop from the added machine to a destination programmed in the previously existing machine.
Refer to Editing and deleting programmed transmission destinations (p.14), and select the Scan to Desktop 
destination information that you wish to transfer to the new machine. Enter the displayed information in the same 
setting screen of the new machine. (When all information has been entered, click Submit.)
 If there are additional destinations that you want to transfer to the new machine, repeat this procedure for each 
destination.
Note that if there are any discrepancies between the newly programmed information and the information in the host 
computer, transmission and reception may not be possible.
 For detailed explanations of the procedures for establishing settings, click Help in the menu frame.
 If you entered a host name in Hostname or IP Address, you will need to enter the DNS server or WINS server 
settings. Click Application in the menu frame and then click DNS or WINS in the page that appears to 
configure the corresponding settings.Note
