HP JetSend communications

 

HP JetSend is a technology from Hewlett-Packard that allows devices to communicate with each other simply and directly. HP JetSend is built into your printer, allowing it to receive information from any

HP JetSend-enabled sending device anywhere on your network, whether it is in the same office or at a remote location. When you use the HP InfraRed Receiver accessory, your printer also can receive information from any HP JetSend-enabled infrared device. Examples of HP JetSend sending devices include digital cameras, computers or laptops running HP JetSend software, or scanners with HP JetSend built in. HP JetSend uses simple IP addressing between networked devices and cableless communication between infrared devices.

WWWTo enable HP JetSend on your computer or laptop, visit the HP JetSend website at http://www.jetsend.hp.com/products.
