About the digital sender
Introduction
The HP Digital Sender 8100C can be directly connected to TCP/IP
networks. It converts black-and-white and color documents,
drawings, and photographs into electronic format and distributes
them directly to several types of destinations:
●
e-mail addresses
●
fax numbers
●
HP JetSend-enabled printers
The unit includes a flatbed scanner and an automatic document
feeder (ADF) that can accept up to 25 pages.
Registered users can create their own address books of e-mail
addresses and combine e-mail addresses into personal distribution
lists. Users can also add fax numbers to public phone books. The
destinations and distribution lists can then be selected at the digital
sender control panel.
The administrator has the ability to create public e-mail destinations
and distribution lists and make them available to all users.
The HP Digital Sender 8100C supports LDAP (Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol), which allows you to find and use e-mail addresses
located on directory servers located elsewhere on a network (such as
the Internet) over a TCP/IP connection. See the HP digital sender
website for a list of global e-mail address books:
http://www.digitalsender.hp.com
6
Installing the digital sender is simply a matter of making a few
connections and configuring a few network and e-mail parameters.
The digital sender operates as a stand-alone unit and does not
require network privileges to administer.
The HP JetDirect print server (network interface card) that comes
installed in the digital sender handles all protocol support for TCP/IP
and SMTP automatically.
Environments and protocols
Network operating systems
The HP Digital Sender 8100C must be directly connected to TCP/IP
network. A 10Base-T ethernet connection is provided by the network
interface card that comes installed in the digital sender.

Features
Distribution services
The digital sender is capable of distributing documents to the
following types of destinations:
●
e-mail addresses
●
fax phone numbers (via fax Internet service)
●
HP JetSend-enabled printers
E-mail destinations
The digital sender can send MIME-compliant e-mail messages to
Internet addresses. It uses SMTP-MIME to deliver these messages.
SMTP is independent of the network operating system on which your
e-mail server is running. The e-mail service is also compatible with
the DSN (Delivery Status Notification) standard.
ESMTP (Extended SMTP) is used if your server supports it. This
capability is automatically detected and configurable.
The document scanned at the digital sender becomes an attachment
to your e-mail message. Portable Document Format (.pdf) is the file
format most often used for the attachments, which gives recipients
the ability to both view and print them. You can obtain a free copy of
the Adobe
website (

Acrobat® Reader from the Adobe Systems Incorporated
http://www.adobe.com
).
9
Documents can also be scanned as TIFF (.tif), a graphics format
importable into most imaging and word processing programs. Text
scanned in B/W Document sending quality can also be read by OCR
programs.
Users can specify e-mail destinations at the control panel in several
ways:
●
Select e-mail addresses from public or personal address books
already loaded in the digital sender.
●
Use a special search feature to select e-mail addresses from an
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) server, if one has
been configured for use by the administrator.
●
Type e-mail addresses manually.
10
Internet fax destinations
Users can send faxes directly from the digital sender. They have the
ability to select destinations from a fax numbers book already loaded
in the digital sender, or type them at the control panel. The same
document can be sent to multiple fax numbers.
Sending faxes with the digital sender requires an account with a
supported Internet fax provider. Visit the HP digital sender website
(
http://www.digitalsender.hp.com
providers that are currently supported.
) for a list of the Internet fax
HP JetSend-enabled printer destinations
You can enable send to printer by setting up one or more
HP JetSend-enabled printers on the network for use with the digital
sender. The printers you designate must be HP JetSend-enabled,
connected to the network, and have a valid TCP/IP address. See the
HP JetSend website (
HP JetSend-enabled printers.
http://www.jetsend.com
) for a list of
Features
Security
The HP Digital Sender 8100C operates as a stand-alone unit on the
network. You administer each digital sender independently of any
other device on the network under a password that applies only to
that digital sender.
The digital sender accepts three types of users:
●
registered users
Individuals who have created their own user profile on the digital
sender. Only registered users have personal e-mail address
books and lists that are accessible at the digital sender.
●
guest users
Individuals who are not registered users and who do not have
user profiles. Guest users can use the digital sender and all
public address books. However, they cannot see or use personal
address books. The administrator can disable guest user access.
●
administrator for the digital sender
The individual (referred to as the “administrator” in this guide)
who performs administrator activities for the digital sender.
Because the digital sender is a stand-alone unit on the network,
these activities can be performed independently of any other
network activity. Network administrator privileges for the digital
sender do not require network privileges. Activities include such
things as establishing the level of security for the digital sender
and maintaining the public address books. The administrator has
access to all personal address books.
11
The administrator controls digital sender security in these ways:
●
Determining who can use the digital sender (registered users and
guest users, or only registered users).
●
Requiring passwords. Passwords are available at two levels:
administrator and registered users. Both are optional. Passwords
control what each type of user can see and do at the digital
sender.
●
Enabling or disabling self-registration for users. If disabled, only
the administrator can add or modify user profiles.

HP Digital Sender 8100C. This Administrator’s Guide provides much
more detail on configuring the digital sender.
16
The configuration process
E-Mail, I-Fax, and HP JetSend configuration
After you have physically installed the digital sender, you only need to
configure a few parameters to begin using it. After you have
configured these parameters, you will be able to:
●
send e-mail messages
●
use e-mail addresses located on an LDAP server of your
choosing
●
send faxes (requires information provided by i-fax vendor)
●
send documents to HP JetSend-enabled printers on your network
●
discover the digital sender over the network with HP Web
JetAdmin
Extended and optional functionality
Once you have established the digital sender on the network and
enabled basic functionality, you can extend functionality for the
services you wish to implement. You can also configure optional
parameters for the services you have already set up.
In general, the extended and optional features consist of the
following:
●
security preferences
●
DNS and WINS name resolution
The configuration process
Assigning an IP address to the digital sender
The easiest method for assigning an IP address to the digital sender
is by entering it directly at the control panel. You can also assign an
IP address using a DHCP or BOOTP server. You might be more
familiar with assigning IP addresses to network devices from a DHCP
or BOOTP server. In this scenario, you prepare the device attached
to the network, make an entry for it on the DHCP or BOOTP server,
and then turn the device on. The HP JetDirect print server (network
interface card) inside the HP Digital Sender 8100C picks up its IP
information from the DHCP or BOOTP server.
17
Note
You can let the digital sender time out to a default IP address. In fact,
this happens automatically if you do not manually assign an IP address
at the control panel within the timeout period of 2 minutes.
The default IP address is not a valid address. You must change the
address to one of your own assignment. Y ou can use the control panel
to do this at any time.
Preparing for configuration
Before you start configuring the HP Digital Sender 8100C for the first
time, take a few minutes to prepare so that you can complete the
steps without interruption. Use the checklist on the following page.
