Using the send-to-workflow feature

If workflow functionality is configured, the user can scan a document and send it to a custom workflow destination. A workflow destination provides the ability to send additional information in a metadata file along with the scanned document to a specified network or FTP location. Prompts at the control panel are used to collect specific information for the metadata file. 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 any network printer to be printed.

1.When the user selects WORKFLOW on the control-panel display, the workflow prompt screen appears.

2.To send to a workflow, the user selects one of the custom workflow buttons. Some workflow buttons might require the user 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.

Configuring the send-to-workflow feature

The HP MFP DSS Configuration Utility Workflows tab can also be used to view workflow entries or to set up workflow processes. To enable this feature, first select the Enable Workflows check box at the top of the tab.
