What are HP Digital Solutions?
HP Digital Solutions are a set of tools provided with this printer that can help improve
your office productivity.
HP Direct Digital Filing
HP Direct Digital Filing provides robust, general-office scanning—as well as basic,
versatile, document-management capabilities—for multiple users over a network. With
HP Direct Digital Filing, you can simply walk up to the printer, touch a button on the
printer’s control panel, and either scan documents directly to computer folders on your
network or quickly share them with business partners as e-mail attachments—and all
without using additional scanning software.
These scanned documents can be sent to a shared network folder for personal or
group access or to one or more e-mail addresses for quick sharing. In addition, you
can configure specific scan settings for each scan destination, allowing you to make
sure that the best settings are being used for each specific task.
HP Digital Fax
Never lose important faxes misplaced within a stack of paper pages again!
With HP Digital Fax, you can save incoming, black-and-white faxes to a computer
folder on your network for easy sharing and storage, or you can forward faxes through
e-mail—allowing you to receive important faxes from anywhere while working away
from the office.
In addition, you can turn off fax printing altogether — saving money on paper and ink,
as well as helping reduce paper consumption and waste.
