HP Network Scanjet 5 Scanner series - Manual (Page 18)

Document Destinations
Scanned documents are sent to the destinations you select at the scanner
control panel using public and private destination lists. When you send a
scanned document, it can arrive at one or more of the following
destinations:
•
The application you have designated as your inbox in the HP Network
ScanJet 5 Utility. From the inbox, it can be further distributed to other
users via e-mail, and so forth, imported as a graphic into other
applications or read into word processing applications using the OCR
feature.
•
The inbox of another registered user or multiple registered users.
•
A fax machine.
•
An Internet e-mail address.
If you have the PaperPort software installed on your computer or on
your network, you can send a scanned document directly to the
application you have designated in your automatic workflow in the HP
Network ScanJet 5 Utility. In addition, at the scanner control panel you
can select the printer to which to copy a scanned document.
Receiving Scanned Documents at Your Desktop
Use the HP Network ScanJet 5 Utility to identify an application installed
on your computer as an inbox. An inbox is a container where all the
documents sent to your computer from the HP Network ScanJet 5
scanner are collected. An inbox can be a thumbnail desktop, a file
system directory, or a printer, as described in Chapter 3, Working at Your
Computer.
After a scanned document arrives at your computer, you can use a
program such as the PaperPort software to organize and store your
documents or annotate them before sending them to another computer
program or distributing them to other people.
