How does HP JetSend work? - Basics
JetSend rules:
•The communicating devices must be able to address each other directly.
•No device-specific information should be preprogrammed into either
communicating device.
•Devices negotiate encodings, namely a description of the job.
•The same protocol is used regardless of whether the devices are exchanging
addresses, transferring data or control, or exchanging status.
Temporary limitations:
JetSend is growing in its implementation. Today it operates over TCP/IP on
Windows 95, NT, 98 or 2000 and over Infrared on Windows 95, 98, and 2000
platforms, but is capable of operating on all transports and operating systems.
Currently JetSend has no store-and-forward capability, which means the device you
are trying to communicate with must be turned on.
