Alternative Configuration - Tektronix Phaser 360 User Manual

In the illustration, "User's email application" refers to how a PC receives email (such
as Eudora, MCI Mail, or another application).

In this simple configuration, the printer's POP3 email server (from which the printer
receives email) has the same IP address as the printer's SMTP email server (to which
the printer sends email).
Alternative configuration
Your email system may not be as simple as the one shown in the diagram on page 4,
especially if you are printing to printers at a different company. The following
illustration may better represent your email system configuration. In this more
complicated setup, both the printer and the client are connected to two SMTP email
servers (for a total of four SMTP email servers). If your network is configured
somewhat like this, you'll need to keep in mind the various IP addresses of the
different SMTP servers.
1. A user executes a print
command from a Windows
application to a remote
Tektronix printer or group
of printers.
2.
The Print Redirector captures
the print data, encapsulates
the print data into an SMTP
email message or messages,
then sends the email to the
client's SMTP email server.
3.
The SMTP email server
forwards the email (perhaps
through a firewall) to the
POP3 email server connected
to the remote printer.
4.
The POP3 email server stores
the message(s) for distribution
to the printer.
5.
The PhaserLink Printing Server
on the Phaser color printer
retrieves the email message(s)
and prints it as a PostScript
print file.
PhaserLink Remote Internet Printing Software Overview
While not required by PhaserLink Remote Internet Printing Software (and therefore
not shown in the illustration), a POP3 email server is usually required to view the
