Control-panel features

All basic HP DSS tasks can be initiated at the device control panel.

When prompted on the control panel, the user types the username and password for authentication, using the control-panel keyboard.

The user then selects an HP DSS task such as send-to-e-mail, send-to-folder, or send-to-fax.

The control-panel keyboard is used to type the address and subject information (for example, the To: and Subject: lines) for e-mails. For faxes, the destination fax number is typed or selected on the control panel. For sending to a folder, a predefined folder path is selected, or, if the user is authenticated, the user can type a folder path into the Other text box. Users can also control duplex scanning, the paper size, and the e-mail attachment format at the control panel.

If the address-book feature is enabled, the user can also select names and addresses for e-mail or fax from the available address book(s).
