Internet Printing
Overview
The Internet Printing System allows users (employees, colleagues, suppliers, customers…) to print data to your printer across the Internet.
Users send the Internet LevelOne Printer Server an E Mail, with the print job normally sent as an attachment to the E Mail.
The LevelOne Printer Server will retrieve the E Mail and print it, using the printer attached to port 1.
