Supported devices – Legacy device support
The DSS supports most recent HP high-end multi-function peripheral (MFP) products, Digital Senders
and some ScanJet products. This document refers to these devices as DSS-enabled devices. A list of
all compatible products can be found on the HP Website at
www.hp.com/go/dss.
Important notes:
Some DSS features are not available on certain models. This is due to differences in firmware
generations in the supported device models. For example, the Send to Folder feature is not
supported on the LaserJet 4100mfp and 9000mfp series – however, it is possible to send to
folder through the Workflow feature on those devices. Also, only configuration of Embedded
Digital Sending features is supported on the Edgeline series devices. Updated feature
compatibility information can be located in the readme file.
As DSS support is built into the device firmware DSS is generally “forwards compatible” with
new device models – provided the device in question supports DSS. Consequently, although HP
recommends keeping DSS updated, it is typically not necessary to update DSS in order to use a
new device model. Exceptions to this are published in the DSS release notes (readme) file.
