HP Digital Sending Software

The HP Digital Sending Software (HP DSS) is a software program that, in conjunction with firmware,

enables HP MFPs to send scanned documents directly to electronic mailboxes (e-mail) or to fax

destinations, transforming paper-based information into digital images that can be shared, stored, or

edited. Documents are initially scanned at the HP LaserJet 9040/9050mfp, and then are transmitted

to a network-connected computer where the HP DSS is installed. This prevents users from having to

create an electronic copy of a hard-copy document. The HP DSS can also be configured to require

user authentication, ensuring that only authorized persons use the Digital Sending feature of the

MFP. For more information about HP DSS, see the

Foreign Interface Harness

The Foreign Interface Harness (FIH) provides a portal on the HP LaserJet 9040/9050mfp for third-

party job accounting vendors to gain access to copy data for the HP LaserJet 9040/9050mfp.

Remote firmware update

The HP LaserJet 9040/9050mfp features remote firmware update (RFU) capability. The method for

downloading remote firmware updates from the Web site is similar to that used to download the

The process for remotely upgrading firmware involves three steps:
