How does HP JetSend work? - Basics
After the contact is established between the two devices and the negotiation is
complete, the job at hand is rendered into an electronic material representation (e-
material) of that job, such as a page, and is called a surface. JetSend surfaces are
software objects created on one appliance and consumed by another appliance. For
example, think of a waiter offering a variety of surfaces like desserts on a tray. The
receiver, in this case the diner, has to choose the one they want.
Several surfaces may be needed to represent one job fully. Such related surfaces are
then linked together to form what are called parent and child surfaces.
3. At this point, after contact and negotiation have been completed, the e-material
surfaces are transferred from the sender to the receiver over the transport that was
chosen to establish contact.
