Brother Internet Print General Information

The BIP software is installed using a standard Windows
2000/XP and Windows NT
port on the Windows
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/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT
to create a printer that uses this port along with a standard Windows
95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT
®
Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT
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. 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.
