■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 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.

The Print/Fax server can be configured using BRAdmin Professional utility or by using a web browser.
Print Server Configuration Checklist
Before configuring the print server to receive BIP jobs, be sure that the E-mail server at the remote site (the receiving end) is configured to handle the TCP/IP POP3, and SMTP protocols (SMTP is only required if the notification feature is enabled).
1Configure the POP3 server on the E-mail server at the remote site with a mail account (Mailbox name) and password for the Brother Print/Fax server (generally, the mail account name will be the first part of the Email address; for example, if you assign the E-mail address emailprinter@xyz.com, then the mail account name would be emailprinter).
2Make sure that the Print/Fax server is installed and running with TCP/IP enabled and has a valid IP address assigned to it.
Because access to the E-mail server on most networks is usually restricted, you may need to have your network administrator check the configuration and add the mail account.
