JetSend: The Future of File Transfers?

February 1998 / Reviews / HP Makes an Even Better Impression / JetSend: The Future of File Transfers?

Concurrent with the LaserJet 4000's release, HP announced JetSend, a new way for devices to communicate over TCP/IP. Once the kinks are worked out, this t echnology has the potential to revolutionize the way all documents are moved.
JetSend requires bidirectional negotiation for devices to work out a common format. Whether between a scanner and a remote PC, a hand-held computer and a fax machine, or some other combination, JetSend hides the neg otiation of compatible protocols, resolutions, and machine features -- all without a network server. In the future, HP plans to incorporate this technology in nearly all its products.
