1 What is HP Capture and Route?
The HP Capture and Route (HP CR) solution is a software application designed to work with HP multi-
function peripherals (MFPs) as an integrated platform to:
z Capture (scan) paper documents, collect document-related metadata, validate information,
compress documents, and convert them into digital documents. During conversion, the system
processes the document through optical character recognition (OCR) and/or converts to various
formats (DOC, JPG, PDF, RTF, TIF, TXT, and XLS), some of which are text-searchable.
z Deliver to specified destinations and archive resulting documents into messaging, content
management, and other electronic information systems.
While the image need only be captured once, HP CR enables multiple processing tasks and delivery to a
number of destinations based on a single scan. Destinations include your PC desktop, e-mail distribution
list, fax number, printer, Microsoft

SharePoint

, or designated network folders.
