Sending scans
Using the all-in-one, you can scan black-and-white and color originals and send them to a
variety of destinations, such as one or more e-mail addresses, a folder on the network, or a
program on a computer. You can use the control panel, the HP photo and imaging software,
and TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant programs on a computer.
Note Before you can use the HP photo and imaging software for scanning, you must customize the
scan feature in the software. See Customizing the scan feature in the HP photo and imaging
software (direct connection) for more information.
If your all-in-one is connected directly to a computer running Windows, it is recommended that
you use a USB connection to ensure optimal scanning performance.
When sending scans to a network folder or as e-mail attachments from an all-in-one that is
connected to a network, you must type any required information (such as user information or
e-mail addresses) using the all-in-one keyboard.

You can scan originals directly from the all-in-one into a network folder without any
computer-based software. The shared folder can reside on a file server or on any computer on
your network.
The all-in-one assigns a file name to the file that you create, composed of the following parts:
z 10-character prefix that is based on the name of the all-in-one device can be set by the
user
z 4-digit sequential number that increments with each file that is created
z an “.ext” file extension
