5 - 3 CONFIGURING INTERNET PRINTING FOR WINDOWS

■
At the remote site, an E-mail server receives the E-mail message.
The remote Print/Fax server, which has its own E-mail address,
uses the POP3 protocol (Post Office Protocol 3) to download the
E-mail message from the E-mail server. It then decodes the
attachment and prints it out on the printer.
Brother Internet Print: Configuring the Brother
Print/Fax Server
The Print/Fax server can be configured using BRAdmin Professional
utility or by using a web browser.
Print Server Configuration Checklist
1 Configure the POP3 server on the E-mail server at the remote
site with a mail account (Mailbox name) and password for the
Brother Print/Fax server (generally, the mail account name will
be the first part of the Email address; for example, if you assign
the E-mail address [email protected], then the mail
account name would be emailprinter).
2 Make sure that the Print/Fax server is installed and running with
TCP/IP enabled and has a valid IP address assigned to it.
Because access to the E-mail server on most networks is usually
restricted, you may need to have your network administrator check
the configuration and add the mail account.
If an E-mail is received that has not been configured to use
the BIP virtual port driver, the printer will print the E-mail out
as a text document.
Before configuring the print server to receive BIP jobs, be
sure that the E-mail server at the remote site (the receiving
end) is configured to handle the TCP/IP POP3, and SMTP
protocols (SMTP is only required if the notification feature is
enabled).
