CHAPTER 5 BIP INTERNET PRINTING INSTALLATION

5-2

Brother Internet Print

General Information

The BIP software is installed using a standard Windows 95/98/Me/NT4.0 Installation

Wizard. It creates a virtual port on the Windows 95/98/Me/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/MeNT4.0 Print Manager to create a

printer that uses this port along with a standard Windows 95/98/Me, NT4.0-

compatible printer. Any Windows 95/98/Me/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 Winsock 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.

•

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.

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.
