ENWW
Controlling digital-sending security
The digital sender has been designed with security in mind. It includes a variety of features
that work to protect the security of the digital-sending process.
Network authentication
The digital sender's most basic security feature is its ability to require a network login before
a user can use the digital sending functions. This prevents unauthorized users from walking
up to the device and sending documents.
Secure e-mail
For those users concerned about e-mail security, the digital sender comes with a secure
e-mail option. A number of third-party software vendors offer services for secure e-mail
delivery. The Secondary e-mail feature is designed to work with one of these third-party
software programs for users that require an extra measure of data security. It differs from the
regular e-mail feature in that the data between the device and the HP DSS server is
encrypted. An rfc822-compliant e-mail message that includes the scanned data as an
attachment is created in a folder on the HP DSS server. The third-party software program,
which is monitoring this folder, processes the e-mail message and sends it out in a secure
manner.
Software security
There are also security features that can protect access to the HP DSS software and other
software programs that have access to digital-sender settings. See the HP 9200C Digital
Sender Support Guide for more information.

This section provides instructions for how to carry out common digital-sending tasks.
Loading documents
You can use either the automatic document feeder (ADF) or the scanner glass to load
documents for digital sending. Use the following instructions to load documents.
Loading documents in the ADF
Using the ADF, you can scan up to 50 pages at a time (depending on the thickness of the
pages).
To load the ADF

2. Adjust the paper guides to fit the document size.
3. If you are scanning legal-size documents, pull out the paper support for the output bin to
accommodate the larger paper size.
4. Make any image modifications, and select any scan settings (see the following sections
for more information). Press START.
If you are scanning a double-sided document, be sure to select the double-sided option in
the Original Settings screen before starting so that the ADF duplexer automatically scans

Avoiding ADF jams
Use the following information to avoid jams when using the ADF.
●
●
●
●
When loading paper into the ADF, ensure that the paper stack is square and straight
and the paper guides are adjusted to the width of the page to be scanned
Do not overload the ADF. The ADF was designed to hold 50 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb)
bond paper.
If the paper to be scanned using the ADF was previously folded, flatten it to the best of
your ability. Try to remove all wrinkles and folds from the paper.
If the paper to be scanned using the ADF was previously stapled, it might be necessary
to “fan” the corner of the page where the staple was inserted. Often, the hole that the
staple created makes the pages stick together (that is, interlocks the pages).
●
Remove any stick-on notes or labels that are affixed to the pages being scanned. If the
labels have deposited excessive residual adhesive to the paper, you might have to clean
it off the paper before it is sent through the ADF.
●
●
●
Paper that has been three-hole punched, been removed from a wire-comb or plastic
comb binding, or has perforations might be difficult to send through the ADF.
If the leading edge of the page to be scanned is excessively worn or frayed, try rotating
the paper before scanning.
Paper can acclimatize to the environment around it. If the operating environment is
excessively dry, the paper might become dry and subject to static electricity. Excessively
dry sheets of paper tend to stick together, which might lead to difficulty when feeding
through the ADF.
Loading documents onto the glass
Use the scanner glass to scan small, lightweight (less than 46 g/m2 or 12 lb), or irregularly
sized originals, such as receipts, newspaper clippings, photographs, or old or worn
documents. The scanner glass can also be used to copy books, magazines, and manuals.
To use the scanner glass
1. Open the top of the device.
2. Place the document face-down on the scanner glass.
3. Close the top of the device.
4. Make any image modifications, and select any scan settings, if necessary. Press START.

Sending documents
The digital sender uses the HP Digital Sending Software (HP DSS) to send scanned
documents directly to several types of destinations.
Logging in
When you walk up to the digital sender, you will see the following "home" screen. The
options displayed are the digital-sending options that have been enabled by your system
administrator.
The system administrator can configure the device to require a username and password in
order to use some or all of the digital-sender features. If you try to use a feature that requires
authentication, a Login screen like the one in the following figure appears. Touch the
Username and Password buttons and type your network login information to continue.
Contact your system administrator if you are unsure of what to use.
Different login information is required for different network configurations:
●
●
●
Windows networking systems: Username, Password, Domain
Novel Bindery: Username, Password, Server
Novell NDS: Username, Password, Tree, Context
After you have logged in, a LOG OUT button appears on the home screen of the control
panel. Touch this button, or press the RESET button on the control panel, to log out when you
have finished your job. You are also automatically logged out after a period of inactivity. The
default timeout setting is 60 seconds. The system administrator can change this setting.

File formats
Documents can be scanned and sent in any of these file formats:
●
.PDF: The .PDF file format is the default setting, and it offers the best overall text and
graphics quality. However, the recipient must have an Adobe® Acrobat® viewer installed
to read .PDF files. This file format produces one e-mail attachment that contains all the
scanned pages.
●
.JPG: While a .JPG file does not have the same quality as a .PDF, the recipient can
view a .JPG file easily with an Internet browser. This file format produces one e-mail
attachment for each scanned page. The recipient can manipulate the .JPG files and
import them into various programs.
●
●
.TIFF: This standard file format interfaces well with many computer programs and can
be manipulated by the recipient. This file format produces one e-mail attachment for
each scanned page.
.MTIFF: An .MTIFF is a multipage .TIFF file that saves multiple scanned pages into a
single e-mail attachment.
If the network limits the file size of e-mail attachments, .MTIFF and .PDF files might be
divided into multiple e-mail attachments.
NOTE
Using e-mail to send a document
You can use the device to scan black-and-white or color documents and send them to an
e-mail address as an e-mail attachment. The attachment can be sent in one of several file
manipulate the document file in various programs to meet their specific needs. Documents
retain near-original quality, and can be printed, stored, or forwarded.
The product scans at up to 600 dots-per-inch (dpi) resolution, but the default resolution for
e-mail is 150 dpi in order to make the e-mail attachment smaller. You can place originals
either on the scanner glass or in the ADF. You can accept the default settings or change the
scanning preference and file formats. The following are the default settings:
●
Color .PDF file (requires the recipient to have an Adobe® Acrobat® viewer to view the
e-mail attachment)
●
Letter or A4-size originals (depending on your country/region)
The system administrator can change these defaults.

In addition to these settings, you can also specify the settings of your original document by
Original Settings for details about these settings.
Controlling file size
When sending files with e-mail, it is especially important to be aware of the file size. Large
files take a long time for the recipient to download, and if the file is too large it might be split
into multiple e-mails or rejected by the receiving e-mail server.
Here are some approximate sample file sizes for different types of documents:

You can control the file size of your e-mail attachment in two ways:
●
●
Adjust the scan resolution
Adjust the File size setting
document in the E-Mail Settings form before you scan the document. The resolution options
for e-mail are 75, 150, 200, and 300 dpi. The default setting for e-mail attachments is 150
dpi. If you are scanning a very large document, or if you are concerned that your file
attachment will be too large, you can try the 75 dpi setting. Some image quality will be lost,
but the file will be much smaller.
When selecting a dpi setting, you should consider how the scanned document will be used.
If the document is text that will only be viewed on a computer monitor, 75 dpi should be
sufficient. If it is text that is to be printed out, 150 dpi should be sufficient. The only time 300
dpi should be required is for scanning color graphics, such as photos, that need to be printed.
The File Size setting controls how much compression the HP DSS service performs on the
file before sending the e-mail. The options are small, standard, or large. Standard is the
default. If you are concerned about the size of your file, you should try the small setting.
Some image quality will be lost, but the file size will be smaller.
The system administrator can also limit the size of digital-sending e-mail attachments during
the digital-sender configuration process. If a file-size limit is set and the e-mail attachment
exceeds the limit, the e-mail attachment will be divided up and sent using multiple e-mails.

More information
For information about configuring digital sending with e-mail and all other send-to options,
and for more information about the digital-sender address books, see the HP 9200C Digital
Sender Support Guide.
Using Secondary E-mail
If the system administrator has made the feature available, a Secondary E-mail option will
appear on the home screen. Secondary E-mail is designed for solutions that require an extra
measure of data security. It differs from the regular e-mail feature in that the data between
the device and the HP DSS server is encrypted. An rfc822-compliant e-mail message that
includes the scanned data as an attachment is created in a folder on the HP DSS server. A
third-party secure e-mail program, which is monitoring this folder, processes the e-mail
message and sends it out in a secure manner. See the HP 9200C Digital Sender Support
Guide for more information about configuring the Secondary E-mail feature.
The process of sending an e-mail message on the digital sender by using the Secondary E-
mail option is exactly the same as it is for normal e-mail.
Faxing a document
If the system administrator has made the feature available, the device can scan a document
and send it to a LAN fax, Internet fax, or Windows 2000 fax service destination.
Analog fax functionality is not available on the digital sender.

Sending to workflow
If the system administrator enables workflow functionality, you can scan a document and
send it to a custom workflow destination. A workflow destination gives you the ability to send
additional information along with the scanned document to a specified network or FTP
location. Prompts at the control panel are used to collect specific information. A third-party
software program monitoring the network folder or FTP site can then retrieve and decipher
the information, performing the specified operation on the scanned image. The system
administrator can also set up a printer as a workflow destination, which allows users to scan
a document and then send it directly to a network printer to be printed.
When you touch WORKFLOW on the control-panel display, the following screen appears.

Custom workflow buttons
To send to a workflow, touch one of the custom workflow buttons. The administrator sets up
the custom workflow buttons. Some workflow buttons might require you to fill in more
information to complete the operation. They might specify a certain file type for the scanned
document or might interact with third-party software, such as a document management
system, so files that are sent to a particular destination can be automatically processed. For
more information about setting up custom workflows, see the HP 9200C Digital Sender

If you typed the e-mail address at the
control panel, resend the e-mail message,
making sure that you type the address
correctly and that it is in the correct format
(has no spaces, contains the required @
sign, and contains the required period).
●
Resend the e-mail. Make sure that you type
the name in the correct format in the From:
field so that the message is not rejected and
so that you receive a message back if the
e-mail transmission fails.

Have the administrator check the activity log
to see if it reflects a problem.
A fax transmission did not arrive at the
destination fax machine.
If you typed the fax number at the control
panel, resend the document, making sure
that you type the fax number correctly.

●
The receiving fax machine might be turned
off or experiencing an error condition (such
as out of paper or toner). Contact the
recipient.
The system might be busy sending other
faxes or waiting to redial other faxes. The
system might also have reached its
maximum limit of pending fax transmissions.
Wait and then try again.

For information about the transmission,
check any fax notifications that might have
been returned (for example, e-mail
notifications in your e-mail inbox, if these
reports are available with your fax service).
●
●
Resend the fax.
If the problem persists, check the log for the
fax transport that is being used. Logs often
contain information about why a fax
transmission was unsuccessful. The
location of the fax log depends on the fax
method that you are using.
A document that was sent to a folder did not
arrive at the destination folder.

Resend the document.
Verify whether the file name was modified to
resolve a duplicate-file-name error.
