E-mail Send the document as an attachment to one or more Internet e-mail addresses. Recipients can print, store, and forward the documents that they receive in this way. They can also open the documents in various programs and edit them to meet their specific needs. Fax Send the document to one or more fax machines. Recipients receive these documents just like any other fax. Folder Send the document to one or more shared network folders. Users can select from a list of pre-defined folders or, if authenticated, can specify a destination from the control panel. Secondary e-mail The DSS administrator sets the name of the control panel key on the MFP. This feature is identical to the e-mail function, and uses the same fields and address books. Workflow Workflows give MFP users the ability to send additional information along with the scanned document to a specified network location.
The MFP can scan both black-and-white and color originals. You can place originals either on the glass or in the ADF. The glass accommodates various sizes and types of media, depending on the capabilities of the particular MFP that you are using.

E-mail
Type of document
The scanned document becomes an attachment to an e-mail message. You select the file type for the attachment. The .PDF and .MTIFF file types create a single attachment for all the scanned pages. The .TIFF and .JPEG file types produce one e-mail attachment for each scanned page.
Fax
The scanned document becomes the fax. Fax cover sheets are handled in either of the following ways. Check with the administrator to learn which method is in effect.
An automatic cover sheet for faxes is generated. The type of fax service that
is used on the network determines the information that is included on the cover sheet. The information usually identifies the sender, date, and time. An automatic cover sheet for faxes is not generated. To include a cover sheet in your fax, create one for the document that you are scanning and place it at the front of your document. The .PDF and .MTIFF file types create a single attachment for all the scanned pages. The .TIFF and .JPEG file types produce one e-mail attachment for each scanned page. Folder Secondary email The document is placed in a network folder. The scanned document becomes an attachment to an e-mail message. You choose the file type for the attachment. The .PDF and .MTIFF file types create a single attachment for all the scanned pages. The .TIFF and .JPEG file types produce one e-mail attachment for each scanned page. Workflow The user does not select the file format; it is determined by the workflow setup administrator.

Authentication
Authentication is a security feature. When the administrator has turned on authentication, you must type your network credentials to use the MFP digital sending features. For Windows networking systems, you must supply the following information for authentication.
For Novell directory systems, you must supply the following information for authentication.
Certain digital sending features (e-mail, fax) or destinations within a feature (network folders, workflows) might require user authentication. After a user has been authenticated, the user will not be asked to re-authenticate for the remainder of the session. If the user selects Logoff from the control panel or a Continue or logoff prompt, or clicks the Reset key, the user will have to re-authenticate.
