Introduction

Send to email (part of the Digital-sending suite) is similar to faxing information, but offers these advantages:

sends mail to multiple e-mail addresses simultaneously, saving time and delivery costs

ensures privacy by sending information directly to e-mail in-boxes rather than to a fax machine, which might have many users

delivers files at near-original quality in black and white or in color

sends files in JPEG, PDF, and TIFF file formats, which can be modified by the recipient in computer programs

Documents are scanned and sent as attachments to an e-mail address. Digital documents can be sent in the formats shown above, enabling recipients to manipulate the document in various programs to meet their specific needs. The e-mailed document can be printed for your records.

By using HP Smart Compression technology, digital-sending keeps file sizes small, minimizing the impact on the network. Documents arrive in near-original quality. Like other e-mail messages, the documents can be printed, stored, or forwarded.

The HP LaserJet 4100 mfp series connects directly to the LAN, so that you can send digital documents without a dedicated computer. E-mail processing is done entirely within the product, from scanning through communicating with the network SMTP gateway. E-mail addresses can be acquired from an at-device address book or an LDAP server. The system administrator can configure e-mail parameters either over the network using the embedded Web server or HP Web JetAdmin, or at the control panel.
