5.3.2 Earlier Sharp OSA versions: Customizing the welcome screen logo

On power on, the Sharp device displays PaperCut’s logo on the welcome screen.

This image can be replaced with another image. In order to do so, a GIF file named

“background.gif” has to be placed into a directory called

“server/custom/web/device/sharp” in PaperCut’s installation directory. If the

subdirectory “device” and/or the directory “sharp” contained therein do not exist

under “server/custom/web” then create them first.

The image has to be a black-and-white GIF file for devices with a black-and-white

screen or a color GIF file for a device with a color screen. Some newer devices also

support animated GIF files. The maximum size for the image is 640 x 190 pixels for

devices with a half-VGA (small) screen and 630 x 336 pixels for devices with a full-

VGA (large) screen.
