5 - 3 CONFIGURING INTERNET PRINTING FOR WINDOWS

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 e-mail server. It then decodes the attachment 
and prints it out on the printer.

Print Server

The print server can be configured using BRAdmin, by using a web 
browser, or by using the TELNET command. 

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 server (generally, the mail account name will be 
the first part of the E-mail address; for example, if you assign the 
E-mail address emailprinter@xyz.com, then the mail account 
name would be emailprinter). 

2

Make sure that the print 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).
