RightFax Server Support and Requirements

All RightFax servers that will be used for sending faxes from Sharp 
devices must be version 9.0 or higher. Microsoft Internet Explorer 
version 6 is required on all RightFax servers.

The repository folder where outbound faxes originating from the 
Sharp device will be placed must be configured as an FTP site on 
an IIS server on your network. Before you begin, ensure that the 
FTP component is installed on the IIS server you want to use. You 
should also add a subfolder called Sharp under the 
\Inetpub\ftproot folder on the IIS server. This will be used as the 
repository folder.

If you are upgrading from an earlier version
of the External Document Connector

Installing the RightFax MFP Module will overwrite all earlier 
versions of the RightFax External Document Connector (EDC) for 
Sharp extensions, discarding any existing configuration settings. 
Captaris strongly recommends that you write down or take 
screenshots of the existing configuration settings before installing 
the RightFax MFP Module. Many of these settings will be reused 
with the RightFax MFP module and information about your existing 
EDC settings will simplify the process of configuring the new 
module.

Sharp MFP Support and Requirements

The RightFax MFP Module supports the following Sharp models:

AR-M350N

AR-M450N

AR-M550N

AR-M620N

Important  

Your Sharp device includes configuration software can be 

accessed via a Web browser. To access this software, you must know the 
IP address of the Sharp device. If you have not already set up the Sharp 
device so that this software is accessible you should do so now.
