Brother Internet Print General Information The BIP software is installed using a standard Windows® 98/Me/ 2000/XP Installation Wizard. It creates a virtual port on the Windows® 98/Me/2000/XP 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® 98/Me/2000/XP Print Manager to create a printer that uses this port along with a standard Windows® 98/Me, 2000/XP-compatible machine. Any Windows® 98/Me/2000/ XP applications program can therefore print to this machine (and hence to the virtual port) without modification or operational procedure. When a job is printed to the BIP virtual port, it is actually MIMEencoded (converted to a standard Internet E-mail message) and sent out to a Brother Print/Fax server at the remote location. 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/Fax 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/Fax server. ■ At the remote site, an E-mail server receives the E-mail message. The remote Print/Fax 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 machine. If an E-mail is received that has not been configured to use the BIP virtual port driver, the machine will print the E-mail out as a text document. CONFIGURING INTERNET PRINTING FOR WINDOWS® 7 - 2

CONFIGURING INTERNET PRINTING FOR WINDOWS

Brother Internet Print General Information
The BIP software is installed using a standard Windows
®
98/Me/
2000/XP Installation Wizard. It creates a virtual port on the
Windows
®
98/Me/2000/XP 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
®
98/Me/2000/XP Print Manager
to create a printer that uses this port along with a standard Windows
®
98/Me, 2000/XP-compatible machine. Any Windows
®
98/Me/2000/
XP applications program can therefore print to this machine (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/Fax server at the remote location. 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/Fax 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/Fax server.
■
At the remote site, an E-mail server receives the E-mail message.
The remote Print/Fax 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 machine.
If an E-mail is received that has not been configured to use
the BIP virtual port driver, the machine will print the E-mail
out as a text document.
