Note Sending pages as photo quality and as either the TIFF format or MTIFF format might result in attachments that cannot be read in some applications. TIFF files can be viewed using the Windows Paint application. This application can be found under the Programs > Accessories menu. If your SMTP size limit is exceeded, the e-mail is distributed as multiple e-mail messages. This is based on the limit selected in the HP MFP DSS Configuration Utility. Fax Three different types of fax service are available with HP DSS v. 4 as shown in the table below. The HP MFP DSS Configuration Utility is used to configure scan settings. Users can specify fax destinations at the control panel by typing fax numbers manually. Fax methods Method LAN fax Windows 2000/XP fax Internet fax Available file types Description ● MTIFF Requires a LAN fax product and a shared folder ● Printer Control Language for the fax work area. 5 (PCL 5) (uncompressed) ● PCL 5 (packbits) ● MTIFF Lets you use a fax modem on the computer where HP DSS v. 4 is running, allowing that computer to act as a turnkey fax gateway. ● TIFF ● MTIFF Lets you use an Internet fax provider to process faxes. These providers use e-mail messages as a submittal mechanism, and deliver them either to a traditional fax machine or reroute them to an individual's e-mail inbox. Folder Send-to-folder lets you send a document to one or more shared folders. You can select from a list of pre-defined folders or, if authenticated, can specify a destination from the control panel. Workflow Send to workflow lets you send additional information along with the scanned document to a specified network location. Prompts at the MFP control panel are used to query the user for specific information. The third-party applications monitoring the network folder can then retrieve and decipher the information, performing the desired operation on the scanned image. Authentication ENWW HP DSS v. 4 allows you to set up MFPs so that a user must be authenticated before using some or all of the digital sending features. When authentication is enabled, the user at the MFP needs to supply valid credentials (such as a user name and password) to gain access to the digital-sending features. There are two interdependent parts to authentication. First, the MFP verifies the user's credentials using the selected authentication method. Then, an attempt is made to find the user's e-mail address in the database of an LDAP server using settings specific to your LDAP server. If either step fails, the user is denied access to the MFP's digital-sending features. These two steps utilize two distinct technologies (an Authentication server and an LDAP server), except in the case of the LDAP server method, where both steps are accomplished using the LDAP server alone.

Sending pages as photo quality and as either the TIFF format or MTIFF format might result in
attachments that cannot be read in some applications. TIFF files can be viewed using the
Windows Paint application. This application can be found under the

If your SMTP size limit is exceeded, the e-mail is distributed as multiple e-mail messages. This is
based on the limit selected in the HP MFP DSS Configuration Utility.
Fax
Three different types of fax service are available with HP DSS v.
as shown in the table
below. The HP MFP DSS Configuration Utility is used to configure scan settings.
Users can specify fax destinations at the control panel by typing fax numbers manually.
Folder
Send-to-folder lets you send a document to one or more shared folders. You can select from a list
of pre-defined folders or, if authenticated, can specify a destination from the control panel.
Workflow
Send to workflow lets you send additional information along with the scanned document to a
specified network location. Prompts at the MFP control panel are used to query the user for
specific information. The third-party applications monitoring the network folder can then retrieve
and decipher the information, performing the desired operation on the scanned image.
Authentication
HP DSS v.
allows you to set up MFPs so that a user must be authenticated before using
some or all of the digital sending features. When authentication is enabled, the user at the MFP
needs to supply valid credentials (such as a user name and password) to gain access to the
digital-sending features.
There are two interdependent parts to authentication. First, the MFP verifies the user’s
credentials using the selected authentication method. Then, an attempt is made to find the user’s
e-mail address in the database of an LDAP server using settings specific to your LDAP server. If
either step fails, the user is denied access to the MFP’s digital-sending features. These two steps
utilize two distinct technologies (an Authentication server and an LDAP server), except in the
case of the LDAP server method, where both steps are accomplished using the LDAP server
alone.
