4 Distributions
A distribution is a defined group of one or more recipients and associated routing rules. By creating a
distribution, you avoid the need to manually enter recipients each time you want to send a document to the
group. You can use:
z Personal distributions (19), called “My Distributions,” that you create for your unique needs. For
example, you may have a distribution defined for sending information to people within your company
and another distribution for sending information outside the company.
z Shared distributions (21) that an individual user creates and makes public as a distribution to which
other users can subscribe.
z Public distributions (21) that a system administrator creates for use by a group. For example, all
members of the marketing group may have a distribution predefined specifically for their use.
Distributions are available on the HP device display panel. Personal Distributions require authentication. By
default, Public Distributions do not. With one touch, you can instruct HP CR to send your document to the
recipients in your desired format.
