•
If you are connecting via a modem directly to an Internet
Service Provider (ISP), the ISP handles the routing of the
E-mail to the remote print server.
At the remote site, an E-mail server receives the E-mail
message. The remote print server, which has its own E-mail
address, uses the POP3 protocol (Post Office Protocol 3) to
download the E-mail message from the server. It then decodes
the attachment and prints it out on the printer.
