Chapter 5 How to Configure Brother Internet Print for Windows 95/98/NT BIP Internet Printing Installation Brother's Brother Internet Print (BIP ) software, for Windows 95/98/NT4.0, allows a PC user at one location, to send a print job to a Brother Printer at a remote location via the Internet. For example, a user on a PC in New York could print a document directly from his Microsoft Excel application program to a printer in Paris. General Information The BIP software is installed using a standard Windows 95/98/NT4.0 Installation Wizard. It creates a virtual port on the Windows 95/98/NT4.0 PC that operates in a similar way to the standard LPT1 printer port from the Application program point of view. The user can use the Windows 95/98/NT4.0 Print Manager to create a printer that uses this port along with a standard Windows 95/98/NT4.0-compatible printer driver (for example, the HL-series drivers). Any Windows 95/98/NT4.0 applications program can therefore print to this printer (and hence to the virtual port) without modification or operational procedure. When a job is printed to the BIP virtual port, it is actually MIME-encoded (converted to a standard Internet E-mail message) and sent out to a Brother print server at the remote location using either the Winsock or Messaging API (MAPI) (MAPI is Windows 95/98 only). This means that BIP is compatible with most common E-mail software packages. The only requirement is that the E-mail server be capable of sending E-mail message over the Internet. In more detail, the procedure works in the following way: • If you are connected to a Local Area Network, the E-mail message is passed to the E- mail server, which in turn transmits the message out over the Internet using the SMTP protocol (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) to the remote print server. • 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. 5-1

How to Configure Brother Internet Print for
Windows 95/98/NT
BIP Internet Printing Installation
Brother’s Brother Internet Print (BIP ) software, for Windows 95/98/NT4.0, allows a PC user
at one location, to send a print job to a Brother Printer at a remote location via the Internet.
For example, a user on a PC in New York could print a document directly from his Microsoft
Excel application program to a printer in Paris.
General Information
The BIP software is installed using a standard Windows 95/98/NT4.0 Installation Wizard. It
creates a virtual port on the Windows 95/98/NT4.0 PC that operates in a similar way to the
standard LPT1 printer port from the Application program point of view. The user can use the
Windows 95/98/NT4.0 Print Manager to create a printer that uses this port along with a
standard Windows 95/98/NT4.0-compatible printer driver (for example, the HL-series
drivers). Any Windows 95/98/NT4.0 applications program can therefore print to this printer
(and hence to the virtual port) without modification or operational procedure.
When a job is printed to the BIP virtual port, it is actually MIME-encoded (converted to a
standard Internet E-mail message) and sent out to a Brother print server at the remote location
using either the Winsock or Messaging API (MAPI) (MAPI is Windows 95/98 only). This
means that BIP is compatible with most common E-mail software packages. The only
requirement is that the E-mail server be capable of sending E-mail message over the Internet.
In more detail, the procedure works in the following way:
•
If you are
connected to a Local Area Network, the E-mail message is passed to the E-
mail server, which in turn transmits the message out over the Internet using the SMTP
protocol (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) to the remote print server.
•
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.
