HP MFP Sending Software 4.9X manual Introduction to DSS

Introduction to DSS

The HP Digital Sending Software (DSS) extends the embedded Digital Sending functionality of supported devices by adding the following capabilities:

●Routing e-mail through a central point (the DSS server), which simplifies SMTP security management in environments with Access Control List security.

●Multiple SMTP gateways for redundancy in delivering e-mail jobs.

●Encrypted e-mail channel with SMTP over SSL.

●Sending fax through LAN Fax and Internet Fax servers.

●Public- and Personal Address Books.

●Access to Microsoft® Exchange Contacts from the front panel of the device with the Exchange Contacts feature.

●The LDAP Replication feature allows access to the company directory while off-loading the LDAP servers.

●The Workflow feature allows easy and consistent scanning into company workflow processes. Metadata can be collected for each job using custom keys or built-in system prompts, allowing integration with third-party applications.

●OCR processing of e-mail, folder and FTP jobs through the I.R.I.S OCR engine to create searchable output.

●Easy and intuitive interface to manage Digital Sending features through the Configuration Utility.

●Central logging of document sending activity for tracking, auditing, and troubleshooting purposes.

●Additional file types, such as PDF/A and Compact PDF.

DSS runs as a software service on a networked server. Supported devices are "DSS aware," which means they have components built into the firmware that allow them to make use of the services/ features offered by DSS. Once a device is added into DSS, all of the Digital Sending features are managed through the Configuration Utility.
