FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sharp Uses LEADTOOLS ePrint in Zaurus Shot Software for
Personal Mobile Devices

Charlotte, NC (February 12, 2003) LEAD Technologies, Inc., a LEADing provider of imaging developer toolkits, announces that Sharp Corporation has used its LEADTOOLS ePrint Printer Driver in the developement of Sharp's Personal Mobile Tools, “Zaurus SL-C700, and SL-B500” which was released on December 14th, 2002.

LEADTOOLS ePrint Printer Driver is built into the “Zaurus Shot” software which captures images displayed on your PC. This function allows you to save data in JPEG format into Zaurus, just like printing it to printers.

“Implementing ‘Zaurus Shot’ enhances compatibility with PCs and allows you to use it easily with PCs. With LEADTOOLS ePrint Printer Driver built into the Zaurus Shot, it becomes more powerful and easy to use. You can take your PC’s information just as your hard copy materials.” says Mr. Hiroshi Uno, Ph.D., Division General Manager of Mobile Systems Division under Communication Systems Group at SHARP corporation.

Main Features of “Zaurus Shot”

Zaurus Shot allows the transfer of any type of data from a PC instantly - regardless of application - with just the push of a button. The Zaurus SL-A300 is the first model to use this technology. Until this model, not all parts which are displayed on PC were captured, so broad information had to be divided into several pieces.

LEADTOOLS ePrint Printer Driver allows you to download an application’s printing image and save it as JPEG format into Zaurus, which enables you to take any information hidden from desktop and capture it as a printed image.


Main Features of LEADTOOLS ePrint Printer Driver

LEADTOOLS ePrint installs and registers as a printer driver allowing it to be used by any application that supports printing. Unlike other printer drivers, which only output raster formats, ePrint can capture printed data in its original format and output to over 140 of LEADTOOLS' supported raster, vector or document formats. Also included with ePrint is a free developer API.


SHARP and Zaurus is Sharp Corporation’s registered trademark.
