DSS-enabled device
DSS-enabled devices are the HP MFPs, Digital Senders or ScanJet products that support DSS.
These devices allow end-users to make use of DSS functionality by scanning to the various
destination types, using the address book etc. See Supported devices – Legacy device support
on page 5 for a complete list of supported devices.
The firmware in these devices has a component built-in which enables use of DSS functionality. In
the previous generation products this is enabled through DSMP (Digital Sending Management
Protocol). In HP’s latest generation products this component has been replaced by a WS-* (Web
Services Star) based interface.
Since all DSS features have to be supported by the device firmware DSS 4.91 has a minimum
firmware version requirement, which can be found here
Table 3-3 DSS 4.91 supported device
firmware revisions on page 45. Over time, as new features become available in DSS, it may be
required to update the device firmware for compatibility. These changes will be documented in detail
in the DSS release notes.
