Integrating the HP 9100C Digital Sender (Network Scanner) with the Castelle FaxPress consists of two steps:

1. Enabling HP Scanner Support on the Castelle FaxPress. 
2. Installing and configuring the HP 9100C Digital Sender and Digital Sender Service so that they will submit faxed jobs to the Castelle FaxPress.

Enable HP Scanner support on the Castelle FaxPress
1. Launch the FaxPress client and log in to the FaxPress as Administrator or as a FaxPress user with Administrator rights.
2. Right-click on the FaxPress server listed under FaxPress Neighborhood and then select the Properties button.
3. In the FaxPress Server Properties dialog box, select the Advanced Functions tab.
4. In the Enable support for section, check the box next to HP Network Scanner. You will be prompted to reboot the FaxPress for the change to take effect.
5. After the FaxPress reboots, there should be a FaxPress user called HP_Scanner and a new directory called HPFSCAN under the \castelle\08xxxxxx\ directory on the FaxPress file server. 
This is the directory that you will point the HP Digital Sender service to during the HP Digital Sender Service installation.
6. The FaxPress is now ready to support a HP 9100C Digital Sender.
