5-2
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.
✒ Note
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.
What this Chapter Covers
This chapter covers the following topics:
•
Enabling the BIP capability on a Brother print server at the remote site.
•
Installation of the BIP software on a Windows 95/98/NT4.0 PC at the local site.
This chapter assumes that you have already installed a Brother print server at the remote site
with valid IP address. It also assumes that you have the capability of configuring E-mail
services on your PC and E-mail server, or that you have access to a network administrator
who can perform these tasks for you.
Configuring the Brother Print Server
This step is to configure the remote print server for enabling BIP capability on the Brother
print server at the remote site. The print server can be configured with BRAdmin32
configuration utility, by accessing the print server console through the TELNET utility or via
a web browser. Refer to Appendix of the appropriate print server manual for information on
how to use the TELNET to access the print server console.
Print Server Configuration Checklist
✒ Note
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).
