How to use the HP OXPd component

This topic shows how to create a workflow that uses the HP OXPd capture component.

In this example, a workflow will be created which captures documents from HP Scanjet 7000n. During the scanning process, a user working on the device will be able to copy a document to any local or network directory. This defines where the captured file is stored.

  2. Double-click the HP OXPd component to open the configuration dialog box.
  3. On the Preferences tab, enter the required information.
  4. On to the General tab, right-click the Default Form and click the Edit button.
    This opens the Form Settings dialog box.
  5. On the General tab of the Form Settings dialog box, select the Allow Changes check box for Media Size, Orientation, Color and Resolution.
    These selections allow the user to change these scan settings directly on the device.
  6. On the Fields tab, configure a new field:
    1. In the Type column, click the "List".

    3. For Display, type "Folder Where to Save".
    4. In the properties column (labeled P), click the ... button .
    5. Enter random values and labels and check whether they appear by default on the device display.  If so, select OK.
  7. On the Form Settings dialog box, click the Components Tab.
  8. Click on the browse button (...) for the Send to Folder component.

    Option Value

  10. Press OK button on the Send to Folder component.
    Do not create folders now.
