6.2. Internet printing
The InterNet Printing System allows users to print data to your printer across the
Internet. Users send the Internet Print Server an e-mail, with the print job sent as an
attachment to the e-mail. The FastPrint Server will retrieve the e-mail and print it.
6.2.1. System requirements
♦ Mail server
•
Accessibility. The Mail Server must be accessible by the intended clients or
users. Normally, this means a permanent connection to the Internet.
•
Protocols. The Mail Server must support the POP3 and SMTP protocols. The
Internet Printing System uses these protocols and the most common e-mail
formatting standards:
MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)
Base64 Encoding (for mail attachments)
♦ Internet Print Server
•
TCIP/IP protocol. The LAN must use the TCP/IP protocol.
•
Mail server access. The FastPrint Server must be able to access the Mail Server
using a single IP address.
•
Mail account. The FastPrint must have a Mail Account. Users print by sending
an e-mail to this mail account.
♦ User (client) requirements
•
Internet connection. Either through a LAN, or dial-up.
•
E-mail address. This is used to notify the user that their print job has been done,
or if there are any problems.
