PhaserLink Printing servers

PhaserLink Printing servers are part of the printer's software. You configure the
server through the printer's PhaserLink web page, where you set printer options
such as who is allowed to send jobs to the printer, how often the printer polls the
system for jobs, and who is responsible for fixing problems with the printer.
Each client PC that is a member of an email network has an email account, which is
basically a name that uniquely identifies the client. This account is created using
whatever email application the network uses.
For printers to be used with PhaserLink Printing Software, each printer client that
will be sent email needs an email account on a POP3 email server. For example, the
printer's email account name might be Phaser360. When sending email to a
network client, use the form account-name@mail-server-name. For example, email
addressed to the printer might be addressed to Phaser360@wolf.mycompany.com.

When you create email accounts for printers that will receive email, be sure to
provide the printer's gateway address (that is, the address of the router). Otherwise,
the printer cannot interact with network components outside its own subnet. If you
do not know the printer's gateway address, contact your System Administrator.
When setting up your printer as a PhaserLink Printing Software client, you need to
know certain information about the printer:
IP address
Network mask
Possibly a gateway address
Your System Administrator may have to set these parameters manually, or they may
already be set by a TCP/IP management application using a method such as RARP
(Reverse Address Resolution Protocol), DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol), or BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol). For more information on configuring a
printer for TCP/IP communication, see your PhaserShare Networking Setup Guide
manual.
For more information about creating email accounts, refer to your email
application's documentation.
The power of PhaserLink Printing Software lies in its ability to send print jobs, in the
form of email messages, over the Internet to remote printers. For example, an
employee in one company can send a print job to a printer at another company. The
reason this is possible is that the email is sent using the SMTP email protocol, which
can pass through firewalls. (A firewall is a network security measure that keeps the
security of the network from being compromised.)
